Graphene transistor speeds up

Scientists at IBM have made the fastest graphene transistor to date. The device operates at frequencies as high as 26 GHz and could find use in wireless communications equipment.


While this is about ten times slower than the fastest silicon transistor, it is remarkable progress because graphene was only discovered in 2004, whereas the silicon transistor has been around for over 50 years and has benefited from decades of intense research and development.
