Graphene has seemed promising for decades. But, its potential faltered along the way, due to damaging processing methods and the lack of a new electronics paradigm to embrace it. With silicon nearly maxed out in its ability to accommodate faster computing, the next big nanoelectronics platform is needed now more than ever.\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/physics.gatech.edu\/user\/walter-de-heer\u0022\u003EWalter de Heer\u003C\/a\u003E, Regents\u0026rsquo; Professor in the\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/physics.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ESchool of Physics\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has taken a critical step forward in making the case for a successor to silicon.
