An international collaborative study that features researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU), presented a new method for growing ultra-long and ultra-narrow strips of graphene (a derivative of graphite), which exhibit semiconducting properties that can be harnessed by the nanoelectronics industry. The researchers believe that the development may have many potential technological applications, including advanced switching devices, spintronic devices, and in the future, even quantum computing architectures.
The study was conducted under the leadership of an international research team that included Prof. Michael Urbakh and Prof. Oded Hod from TAU's School of Chemistry, as well as scientists from China, South Korea, and Japan. The study was published in the journal Nature.
