First graphene semiconductor was created
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?
They don't make big pieces or graphene like that. It's made as a layer of graphene on some other material. Pure graphene flakes are tiny AFAIK.
