Cassini Captures New Images of Icy Moon. NASA's Cassini spacecraft took this raw, unprocessed image of Saturn's moon Rhea on March 10, 2012.
The camera was pointing toward Rhea at approximately 26,019 miles (41,873 kilometers) away. (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI) TEDxOjai - Peter Joseph - The Big Question. Researchers move graphene electronics into 3D. In a paper published this week in Science, a Manchester team lead by Nobel laureates Professor Andre Geim and Professor Konstantin Novoselov has literally opened a third dimension in graphene research.
Their research shows a transistor that may prove the missing link for graphene to become the next silicon. Graphene – one atomic plane of carbon – is a remarkable material with endless unique properties, from electronic to chemical and from optical to mechanical. One of many potential applications of graphene is its use as the basic material for computer chips instead of silicon. This potential has alerted the attention of major chip manufactures, including IBM, Samsung, Texas Instruments and Intel. Individual transistors with very high frequencies (up to 300 GHz) have already been demonstrated by several groups worldwide.
