Japan develops graphene nanoribbon synthesis method or promotes computer miniaturization

According to Japanese media reports, the research team of Nagoya University in Japan announced that they have successfully developed a technology for synthesizing carbon materials "graphene nanoribbons." It is reported that this technology may promote the miniaturization and high performance of computers.

It is reported that “graphene nanoribbons” is a nano-scale carbon material connected by hexagonal ring-shaped carbon molecules. The size of the material can affect properties such as conductivity. Therefore, the material is expected to be applied to a new generation of semiconductors, but people have not been able to find an efficient synthesis method, and the "graphene nanoribbons" are therefore called "dream materials".

A research team led by Professor Itami Kenichiro of Nagoya University allowed specific carbon molecules with a ring structure to react with exclusively developed catalysts to successfully synthesize "graphene nanoribbons" efficiently and control them by adjusting the amount of raw materials. The shape and size of graphene nanoribbons.

According to reports, semiconductors using "graphene nanoribbons" are smaller in size than conventional semiconductors, but they can exert the same or even higher capabilities. This technology is likely to promote the miniaturization and high performance of computers, so it has attracted the attention of all parties.
