Graphene is the new silicon...

IBM Demonstrates 100GHz Graphene-Based Transistors. Why is this important? Here's why:
"The transistor prototypes were made from sheets of carbon just one atom thick that could switch on and off at 100 billion times per second. The 100-gigahertz speed is about 10 times faster than any silicon equivalents."
Wow, transistors the size of molecules. Faster, please.
