Device to control 'color' of electrons in graphene provides path to future electronics

Device to control 'color' of electrons in graphene provides path to future electronics University Park PA (SPX) Sep 01, 2016 - A device made of bilayer graphene, an atomically thin hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms, provides experimental proof of the ability to control the momentum of electrons and offers a path to electronics that could require less energy and give off less heat than standard silicon-based transistors. It is one step forward in a new field of physics called valleytronics. "Current silicon-bas ... more
