Graphene thermal conductivity - introduction and latest news - Page 21

New research shows that Graphene may be very useful as an interconnector in computer chips. In widths as narrow as 16 nanometers, graphene has a current carrying capacity approximately a thousand times greater than copper while providing improved thermal conductivity.

A team from the Georgia Institute of Technology has performced this research. Our measurements show that these graphene nanoribbons have a current carrying capacity at least two orders of magnitude higher than copper at these size scales. said Raghunath Murali, a senior research engineer in Georgia Tech’s Nanotechnology Research Center.
