Single-Atom Layer of Tin May Be a New Wonder Conductor

At Kurzweil AI, an article proclaims that the next wonder material for computer chips may be an unexpectedly common one: "Move over, graphene. 'Stanene' — a single layer of tin atoms — could be the world’s first material to conduct electricity with 100 percent efficiency at the temperatures that computer chips operate, according to a team of theoretical physicists led by researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University."

AC, Superconductor. Superconductor, this is AC.

Great...

NOW they tell me my tinfoil hat in fact amplifies my brainwaves to be read. THANKS A LOT LONE GUNMEN!

Re:Single layer

[wonkey_monkey]

the fact that these conductive strips is pretty important too

Did you accidentally a word?

I built my tin foil hat out of actual tin that I myself mined and produced, you insensitive clod!

Check your calculator. According to mine, 1 000 000 / 999 900 = 1.000 100 010 001
