    Now, Walter de Heer at Georgia Tech in Atlanta and his colleagues have created graphene with a bandgap and even demonstrated a working transistor, an on/off switch that either prevents or allows current to flow through it.

      Now let’s see how it holds up at a scale of production.

      Scientists have been able to make graphene do tricks for a minute now, not to discount it in any way. The problem for a while now is that they haven’t been able to get it out of the lab and into a form of production. Let’s hope this is a step in to that future.
