Northrop Grumman Doubles Frequency of Fastest Reported Integrated Circuit

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has set a new electronics performance record with a Terahertz Monolithic Integrated Circuit (TMIC) operating at 0.67 terahertz (THz), or 0.67 trillion cycles per second.

Plasmonic promises: First observation of plasmarons in graphene

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Scientists have discovered that composite particles called plasmarons play a vital role in the electronic structure of graphene, crystalline sheets of carbon just one atom thick. Their frequencies may reach 100 terahertz —much higher than the frequency of conventional electronics in today’s computers, which typically operate at about a few GHz.
