MIT Reports 400 GHz Graphene Transistor Possible With 'Negative Resistance'

An anonymous reader writes "The idea is to take a standard graphene field-effect transistor and find the circumstances in which it demonstrates negative resistance (or negative differential resistance, as they call it). They then use the dip in voltage, like a kind of switch, to perform logic. They show how several graphene field-effect transistors can be combined and manipulated in a way that produces conventional logic gates. Graphene-based circuit can match patterns and it has several important advantages over silicon-based versions. Liu and co can build elementary XOR gates out of only three graphene field-effect transistors compared to the eight or more required using silicon. That translates into a significantly smaller area on a chip. What's more, graphene transistors can operate at speeds of over 400 GHz."

If you think Diane`s story is great,, last munth my girl friends mom also recieved a check for $6933 working eleven hours a week from there house and there classmate's sister`s neighbour has been doing this for seven months and recieved a check for over $6933 in their spare time on line. the steps from this web-site... http://www.wep6.com/ Go to website and click Home tab for more details.
