Grapheno
It all started with the invention of the Vacuum Vale, which was the first invention that revolutionized electronics in 1904, these were inefficient and they also generated a lot heat.
Because of these reasons the Vacuum Vale was replaced by the silicon transistor, which heated less than the first one. It was a improvement on electronics.
But this doesn´t stop here. The silicon transistor needed a lot of electric current and showed greater resistance than a new material, which name was Germanium.
The Germanium transistor was better than the silicon one, it showed less resistance and it also needed less current. Due to this fact, the number of transistors that fit on a integrated circuit had increased.
Since then, the technology has not advanced significantly, however, some Russian researchers managed to isolate a new material in natural temperature, it was the Grapheno. The Grapheno is a sheed of carbon with atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern similar to graphite, but in a sheet of one atom thick. It is very thin, one sheed of one square meter weights just 0.77 milligrams. The Grapheno is a superconductor so its transistor is the fastest one, with the less consumption of electricity current.
Some of the profits of the Grapheno are:
Flexible Touch Screens:
Being able to conduct electrons in very good shape with almost no heat in the process. Researchers at the University of Texas and the University of South Korea, found that a graphene sheet can be used in the development of touch screens, taking advantage of the fact that a sheet of graphene can be fully transparent, ideal for placing over a panel of pixels without reducing the brightness of the backlight.
In addition, this thin sheet of sensitive electrical conduction. Graphene and that would capture our touches can be very flexible, providing what could be future flexible touch screens, which could well be accompanied by flexible OLED technology for the development of this kind of technology.
High Speed Cables:
Researchers at the University of Cambridge managed that graphene was able to capture a lot of light, which can be used in creating fiber optic cables very fast, benefit of another material properties: electrons move quickly on it.
therefore, graphene wires that could move data a hundred times faster than current one, which could be implemented in the area of telecommunications installation faster networks, apart from increasing the capacity and speed of the Internet, mobile telephony and ultimately, all communications are conducted in our planet.
