First graphene semiconductor was created

research.gatech.edu Researchers Create First Functional Semiconductor Made From Graphene | Research

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. Semiconductors, which are materials that conduct electricity under specific conditions, are founda...

Crazy that it's transparent. I wonder how thick that wafer is.

Also awesome:

we're using properties of electrons that are not accessible to silicon
- If it's a single sheet of graphene.... about 1.5 angstrom thick.
  
  How does he not cut himself while holding it?
We've been studying and perfecting the art of silicon semiconductors and silicon electronics manufacturing for over 70 years now, it'll take a while until this tech is anywhere near ready for applications. I'm not convinced you can do conventional CMOS on these things.

However, this is really cool and I'd love to work on graphene semiconductors!

Carbon, so hot right now
What is the significance of semiconductors in chatbot technology?How do semiconductors enhance chatbot capabilities?Can chatbots powered by semiconductors understand and respond to human emotions?What role do semiconductors play in voice-based interactions with chatbots?

Tips: the datasheet (https://www.icdrex.com/the-future-of-communication-chatbots-powered-by-semiconductors/) may help you a little.
