The medium-term goal is to find a way to produce a chip with tens of thousands of transistors, although this is still well below conventional silicon microchips which can have billions. The Graphene Flagship at the Technical University of Vienna has developed an integrated circuit constructed from molybdenum oxide , which is light and thin enough to be used in wearable devices without altering their form , according to team leader Christoph Mueller . The processors can be used with LEDs to create smart paper or form components for IOT 4.0 devices . The team is looking at medium to long - term goals , including producing a chip with tens of thousands of transistors , potentially grown on a crystal . Conventional silicon chips contain hundreds of transistors .
