This is the great thing about our current world, there are so many things going on that you can probably find a relevant use case for any new technology, and if you can find one instance of that case, there are probably thousands, which means scaling up production, which means cheaper unit costs, which opens up potential for new use cases that make sense at a lower price point. Eventually the dam breaks and the technology becomes cheap enough to become ubiquitous.

There is a huge "**?**" on how, when and if graphene will become a viable substitute of silicon for chips. There are thousands of other problems for a graphene based chip. Moreover, Moore's law is valid for graphene as it is for silicon. The big deal would be *heat*, if graphene will be able to produce cooler processors then there is a great chance you will see graphene based computers in couple of decades, although it will be really hard. Anyhow, studies on new materials such as graphene are essential for technology evolution, and even if I'm a bit sceptic on graphene's use in transistors in the near future, I'm sure there will be a breakthrough in (energy or computing) technology thanks to this material :-)

Even more important than the speed gain is the ability to shrink circuits and to reduce the power consumption. Easier to power with batteries so fewer wires. Wouldn't that be great? Fewer wires!

Been hearing about graphene  and carbon nanotubes for several years.  The manufacturing process has proven to be extremely difficult thus far, thus delaying implementation of of it's advantages.  Looks like we are finally inching closer to actually applying the benefits of graphene to our technology.  Who knows what technological wonders will follow?  Computers are going to continue to shrink and virtually sip electricity.  I think graphene will lead to practical bionics and revolutionize battery tech.   We are in for some HUGE advancements!

Graphene is a composite as I remember, it's really hard to obtain and also remember that composites are hard to process and they have a lot of difficulties... Even being 200 times stronger than steel it might have downfalls. Yeah I kinda moved from topic, im not against graphene, I'm absolutely for its developing, just wanted to add that composite such this is complex in processing :( Correct me if I'm wrong, but was graphene first discovered by group of scientists in MIT?

Technology has come such a long way in the last few years. And its just going to keep expanding at faster rates yearly. It is a amazing time to be alive. Great article.

Great news for the future of computers! I love to see improvement in all areas of technology. Thanks for sharing @sauravrungta

I was born in 1951...when computers were the size of buildings and used enough electricity to power small towns.

I've been following graphene since it's discovery.  It's definitely a game changer.  Those who predict the demise of moore's law are uninformed.

Two years ago I read about graphen firstly. It was the article about graphen batteries. Today I was surprised with your post because you write that scientists try to use graphen in computers. It's amazing. I hope they find cheap methods for making computers more fast. Thank you very much dear @sauravrungta for this post and very interesting topic.

Graphene is a miracle material. Its flexible and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity like silicon. but the problem i think its that it is not cheap at all.

It has to start from IC. still way to go but it is good start.

Although there are surely a lot of riddles that need to be solved in order to be able to manufacture a computer based on graphene as you told us, I believe that even we manage to achieve that, such a revolutionary technology concerning processing power will not be allowed to be accessed by us mere 'mortals'. A machine that will have a thousand times better results will simply cause panic in an industry that permeates most, if not all, aspects of our lives and bring such enormous losses of funds worldwide that it will not be permitted to be released. In order to gain, they must produce hi tech devices that each time are a little bit better than their predecessors, even if the mega corporations already know the avenue to make them significantly better. Let's all hope that I am somehow mistaken and such amazing discoveries find a way to drastically improve the quality of our lives.

Is graphene an organic material? Ive never heard of it, but damn it sounds like a game changer. Has anything acutally been produced from Graphene yet?

This has me wondering, what stock(s) or etf(s) offer the highest exposure to graphene tech?

Some quick research brings up China owning nearly 75% of all current (above ground?) graphene.  It seems a real race between Samsung and Nokia and other phone/ television making companies, to get the first graphene improved tech to the market, is in the process.

I tried to find a graphene based ETF and couldn't find any, with perhaps the exception of this ["motif" (click to bring to the link)](https://www.motifinvesting.com/motifs/graphene-dream-Nn4zfnZI#/overview) -- the "Graphene Dream".

Thanks Saurav for sharing this wonderful post. I', student of IT and I second your words about development of Computer Technology. Please share more informative blogs!

what's a floppy disk? :P

Hahah we have come so far! :)

Look what I found on Google. 

"First, pour some graphite powder into a blender. Add water and dishwashing liquid, and mix at high speed. Congratulations, you just made the wonder material graphene. This surprisingly simple recipe is now the easiest way to mass-produce pure graphene – sheets of carbon just one atom thick."

Imagine the first self aware AI having neural networks that work 1000 times faster than expected. Let loose onto the almost infinite stores of information on every level of the web it would become God within a day.
