“If you want to continue to push technology forward, we need faster computers to be able to run bigger and better simulations for climate science.....”
Of course that is # 1. If he means predicting the weather better, great. But I doubt that’s it.
Science-minded university freshmen could do worse than to major in materials science with an emphasis on graphene.
The first thing the “climate models” will show is that Graphene causes climate change. /s
My pencil is so fast right now I can barely keep up.
Carbon is evil. Leftards say we are supposed to eliminate carbon.
Ah, so our graphene based computers of the future won't actually run any faster than today's computers. They'll just be stuffed with more bloatware.
My computer used to be fast- now it’s only HalfF ast (You gotta sound it out for the joke to work)
Pencils contain graphite. Graphene is another molecular arrangement of carbon similar to nanotubes, which are a 2-dimensional lattice of carbon as opposed to a 3-dimensional lattice such as diamond.
No matter how fast the computer is ... GIGO.
Now you can get your porn 1000 times faster.
A 1000 times faster? Wait until Microsoft gets a hold of it.
The increased energy efficiency is the big thing. Heat dissipation is a major limiting factor in high speed computing right now.
That sounds interesting. I would like to know if there is a dual action—the transistors create their own emission field and actuate a pixel simultaneously for display purposes—or not.
I see a lot of “COULD” when reading about graphene. Right now it “appears” to have some “promise” but I still see it as many who are trying to milk it as the new hope of funding because it “could”. As stated, the biggest problem is heat dissipation because as with the X-15, the faster it moves through the air, the hotter it gets. Same goes for electrons and the mediums in which they have to move. There are some advancements in composites of graphite composition I am learning about now but the big problem is finding a correlation of properties to the old standard of 6063-T6 aluminum. Especially when it comes to cost.
In terms of speed, the use of graphene will help pick up the slack that silicon-based transistors can no longer move from.
we can look forward to even more powerful and awesome devices in the future
It's always amusing when a non-technical person writes about cutting-edge technology.
This is all over my head. If magnetic fields alter the state of the graphene, is this a one time alteration or can they be damaged with magnets in future?
Would electronic pulse weapons disable as well?
