HEY YOU DAMN UNRULY ELECTRONS! STAY OFF MY LAWN!

[Old Professer]

“In their experiments, the IBM Researchers first used a single layer, or sheet, of graphene to build a transistor and noted that the device does in fact follow Hooge’s Rule: as they are made smaller and smaller, there is an increase in the noise that is created.
Two Layers Are Better Than One
However, when the IBM Researchers built the same device with two sheets of graphene instead of one — one stacked on top of the other — they noted that the noise is suppressed, and is weak enough that these so-called bilayer graphene ribbons could prove useful for building future semiconductor devices for use in sensors, communications devices, computing systems and more. The noise is inhibited because of the strong electronic coupling between the two graphene layers that counteracts the influence of the noise sources: the system acts as a noise insulator.”

Thereby making the “smallest” twice as big.

No wonder I can't sleep nights. ;') Thanks Ernest.

Not string-theory (or at least, not much), but probably of interest.

Sounds something like atomic-level twisted-pair wire. :-)
