A team of researchers in the US (University of Delaware, industry, Columbia University) combined silicon with graphene which can transmit radiofrequency waves in less than a picosecond at a sub-terahertz bandwidth. Graphene has better carrier mobility and direct bandgap and allows for faster electron transmission and better electrical and optical properties. By combining silicon with graphene, scientists may be able to continue to utilize technologies that are already used with silicon devices. The research could add up to cheaper and faster wireless devices in the future. It could make the network stronger, better and cheaper…read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
