DOCUMENTARY NIGHT: TRANSISTORIZED! Impact on Nanotechnology

Transistorized! Traces the discovery, invention and impact of the transistor, perhaps the most important invention of the 20th century. Implications on Nanotechnology will be discussed. These transistors are made of graphene, a material that conducts electricity much faster than most. It is a flat sheet of carbon atoms only one atom thick. It has great potential as a new (nano) electronic material thanks to the high mobility of its electronsthe Art. Hosted by Ira Flatow, the documentary recounts how American life was utterly transformed by the transistor, and how its basic principles have flowered into technologies that will dominate the next century.
