Researchers Develop a Graphene Based Sensor to Visualize Electric Fields
https://www.electronics-lab.com/researchers-develop-a-graphene-based-sensor-to-visualize-electric-fields/
As silicon-based fabrication technology is reaching its operational limits, there is increasing research attention towards developing circuits with 2D materials. The 2D materials are crystals consisting of a single layer of atoms, with their thickness ranging from a single to a few-atomic layers thick. In conventional materials, effects such as quantum tunneling become prominent as […]
