Stanene is 100% efficient, could finally replace copper wires in silicon chips

2013-11-25 17:25:28| Extremetech

Move over, graphene and carbyne -- stanene, with 100% electrical efficiency at temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius (212F), is here, and it wants to replace the crummy, high-resistance copper wires that are a big limiting factor in current computer chips. Where graphene is a single-atom-thick layer of carbon, stanene is a single-atom-thick layer of tin.
