Monster Machines: Berkeley Lab’s 2D Transistor Could Supercharge Tomorrow’s Electronics
Graphene is regularly touted as a “super material” in electronics manufacturing — one able to do everything that silicon does, except better. But that isn’t good enough for one team at Berkeley Labs. They have combined graphene with two other cutting-edge materials to create the world’s first 2D field effects transistor. Your gadgets are about…

We Can Now Print Ultrafast Graphene Chips For Flexible Electronics
Futurists are always talking about how flexible electronics will change our lives in amazing ways, but we’ve yet to see anything mind-blowing come to market. A team of scientists from the University of Texas in Austin, however, think they’ve found the key to changing that: ultrafast graphene transistors printed on flexible plastic.

These Brain-Hugging Transistors Will Make Real-Life Cyborgs
Transistors were one of the most revolutionary developments in modern computing. And that was without directly implanting them in our brains. Now, the first microscopic organic transistor arrays promise to let us do just that.

Germanium Transistors Are 4x Faster Than Today’s Transistors
It might look like something out of Tron, but you’re actually looking at a new type of transistor made out of germanium, which is four times faster than those currently in use.
