Computing of Graphene

Abstract

Materials are the basics of almost all new discoveries in science. The development of new materials can lead to the uncovering entire new fields of study, as well as new solutions to problem that may have been thought to be insoluble. One such material is graphene, a deceptively simple arrangement of carbon atoms. This new materials has leapt to the forefront of materials science and has numerous possible applications. It also allows for the observations of electrons in an almost zero resistance environment. Graphene may not yet be commercially viable but in the coming years is almost certain going to be applied in many different fields. This paper is a brief review of graphene and some of its properties and applications. Just one atom thick and less than fifty atoms wide, the tiny transistors made from graphene pave the way for a new breed of computer chips smaller and faster than those based on silicon.
