Quick story

Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. The discovery of graphene has been rewarded with Nobel Prize, in 2010 to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. It is real and has already been produced from graphite, the scale of production still remains the main restriction.

Most of the research is still at the early stage and graphene products have not yet reached the masses in commercial use, however there is a big push for investment into graphene.

Graphene, even though being the thinnest material ever, is super strong. Graphene may at first sound like science fiction, with all it's declared super attributes in many areas. Those include:

Finally - Transistor (Barristor) made of graphene

Want 100 x Performance? Chip it in!

Samsung has developed what others were trying to do until now. Graphene could not switch on/off well and they seem to have nailed it.

For a more scientific information, read through the Science Magazine abstract on Graphene Barristor, a Triode Device with a Gate-Controlled Schottky Barrier.

For a less scientific mind, read the Samsung develops graphene device for transistor use.
