Our world needs reliable telecommunications more than
ever before. However, classic devices have limitations in terms of
size and cost and, especially, power consumption—which is directly
related to greenhouse emissions. Graphene could change this and
transform the future of broadband. Now, Graphene Flagship
researchers have devised a wafer-scale fabrication technology that,
thanks to predetermined graphene single-crystal templates, allows
for integration into silicon wafers, enabling automation and paving
the way to large scale production.
