Breakthrough Grows Graphene On Silicon Substrate
eldavojohn writes "A new paper entitled Epitaxial Graphene on Silicon toward Graphene-Silicon Fusion Electronics published by a group of physicists at Tohoku University in Japan has demonstrated that they can grow graphene on a silicon substrate and pair that technique with conventional lithography to create a graphene-on-silicon field effect transistor. For quite sometime we've been discussing the supermaterial graphene being used like silicon improving everything from memory density to transistors. Given this demonstration, are we witnessing the start of a new era in electronics or are there more hurdles to clear before the manufacturers adopt this fabrication process and embrace graphene?"
"Breakthrough Grows Graphene On Silicon Substrate"? I'm calling everyone I know with the news. In fact, I'm writing my congressman to demand a new three day holiday: "National Graphene On Silicon Substrate Day".

That post was so confusing, it must be really well thought out and informative.
What the hell is a pencil?
Robots don't want meat, arable land, pure water, etc, etc (or, at least, I hope they won't)
Oh god, I hope they don't want to round up the humans and get us to do the work for them, so that they can lounge around all day and drink beer!

I hope it's the waffles!

But they will want power, and metal "maybe".
Well, ok the robots can have Manowar then...
how long until
