Georgia Tech is organizing a one-day workshop on graphene, the ultra-thin carbon material that promises to advance electronics beyond silicon. Leading French and American scientists in the field will give keynote presentations and share ideas to nurture existing partnerships and foster new collaborations between U.S. and French research institutions.
