Researchers in the Electro-Optics Center (EOC) Materials Division at Penn State have produced 100 mm diameter graphene wafers, a key milestone in the development of graphene for next generation high-power, high-frequency electronic devices including displays, solar cells, sensors and more. Thanks to the ability of an electron to move at 1/300th the speed of light through graphene (significantly faster than silicon), graphene is a candidate material for many high-speed computing applications in the multibillion-dollar semiconductor device industry, and has the potential to enable terahertz computing, at processor speeds 100 to 1,000 times faster than silicon.

When Penn State opened the Electro-Optics Center (EOC) in 1999, the University's vision was to create an entity that would foster economic development in the state and to provide research and development in areas critical to the nation's defense. Ten years later, the center has proven to be successful in meeting both of those goals and has helped in the development of some of the most sophisticated technology in use today. (more)

The annual Road Scholars spring tour for Penn State faculty, hosted by President Graham Spanier, is now accepting reservations for its May 11-13 trip across southwestern Pennsylvania. The tour offers new and newly tenured Penn State faculty several dynamic opportunities to learn about the University and Pennsylvania as they travel to several Penn State campuses and tour businesses and popular historic sites. There is no cost for faculty to participate in this year's tour except for lunch in the Pittsburgh Strip District, one of the city's most popular spots for great food and nightlife. The deadline to register online is Monday, April 13. (more)
