As microelectronics, which are devices that are based primarily upon the integration of microchips and microcircuits, continue to advance as leaders in the technology-dependent industries, their success has been largely dependent upon silicon integrated circuits.
In an effort to combine graphene and nanoparticles, two of the most sought-after and popular technologies available today, a team of Scientists have developed a revolutionary synthesis method that enhances the phenomenal properties of these materials without any need to compromise the unique properties of the two.
