    To summarize a few bits of the article, in case anyone else was wondering why graphene over silicon was better and if it was better why not graphene over silicon until now.

    Why

    • “ten times the performance and low consumption of power”
    • “two hundred times stronger than steel” “unmatched compared to silicon”
    • “thermal and electrical conductivity is better than copper”
    • “lightweight, measuring less than one milligram per square meter”

    Why not

    • “Graphene-based chips are complicated to produce and are highly expensive to create”
