The role of nanomaterials in electronics

The late twentieth to early twenty-first century is known as the silicon age, and the impact of silicon on the electronics industry is almost too large to quantify. But, silicon electronics are close to their physical limits in terms of efficiency and performance. Research initiative the Graphene Flagship is working on the solution — nanomaterials like graphene and graphene related materials (GRMS). In this article, Sanna Arpiainen, deputy division leader for the 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL), explains how layered materials will unveil a new generation of electronics, promising new functionalities and applications.
