SAMSUNG Electronics Presents a New Graphene Device Structure

Category: Press Release, Date: 2012-05-24 14:18:00 , Author: Michael Peters

It may sound a bit like Science Fiction, but this is really being done, and it's about time someone figured it out.


Develops a new transistor structure using ‘the miracle material’ graphene to increase the possibilities for future transistors Reported online by the journal Science, 17th May

 Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, the core R&D incubator for Samsung Electronics, has developed a new transistor structure utilizing graphene, touted as the “miracle material.”

As published online in the journal Science on Thursday, 17th May, this research is regarded to have brought us one step closer to the development of transistors that can overcome the limits of conventional silicon.

Currently, semiconductor devices consist of billions of silicon transistors. To increase the performance of semiconductors (the speed of devices), the options have to been to either reduce the size of individual transistors to shorten the traveling distance of electrons, or to use a material with higher electron mobility which allows for faster electron velocity. For the past 40 years, the industry has been increasing performance by reducing size. However, experts believe we are now nearing the potential limits of scaling down.

The Nexus Thrio 310 case is your choice for a silent computer. With its toolless installation features it is a breeze to install your components or change your set-up. The professional look and materials make the case fit in anywhere. A black mesh front and side panels with the Nexus logo stamped give the Thrio 310 a distinguished look. And the USB3.0 port on the front panel makes the case compatible with current motherboards.

We already installed one of our excellent silent case fan, a 120mm fan is fitted as air outtake. Some isolating padding where the PSU is placed prevents resonance. The rubber feet keep the case elevated from the floor to make smooth airflow possible and to eliminate resonance. Check out all the great features....
