#MEMS: "Graphene Beats Silicon for Sensors"

Graphene--the favorite material for next-generation semiconductor designers--will boost the sensitivity of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensors by 10-times, according to Swedish researchers: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog


Graphene membrane (black) boosts suspended pressure sensor (vertical line) by narrowing its thickness by 10-fold, thereby boosting sensitivity by the same amount.
