Truly amazing, this Graphene sounds promising, and best of all its a British iinvention. Lets hope they get the proper funds or it will be another British idea exploited by the US, because we failed to fund it.

Re: Worlds smallest transistor

LOL, yeah. The Brits and the Ruskies are about to join forces and show em how it's done. We need an O/S everyone can cope with and this thing powering it, kick Intel and Microsoft into touch. Might happen before I retire, fingers crossed for "Industrial Revolution II"
