The unique properties of graphene make it attractive for a wide range of potential electronic devices. R. Murali, Y. Yang, K. Brenner, T. Beck, and J.D. Meindl at the Georgia Institute of Technology have been studying graphene as a potential replacement for copper in on-chip interconnects in integrated circuits. They have now reported measurements of thermal conductivity and breakdown current density in narrow graphene nanoribbons in the June 15 issue of Applied Physics Letters.
