The Graphene Flagship at the Technical University of Vienna has developed an integrated circuit constructed from molybdenum disulphide, which is light and thin enough to be used in wearable devices without altering their form, according to team leader Thomas Mueller. This new type of graphene transistor could lead to a range of applications including flexible displays, smart contact lenses, solar cells, sensors for medical imaging or even computer chips. The Graphene Flagship at the Technical University of Vienna 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 billions of transistors.
