[BC] Is That Really a Radio Station On Your Pencil...

[Mike McCarthy]

On a different front, researchers have used a material named Graphene to 
create what is the smallest FM transmitter yet. The entire 
transmitter/exciter is smaller than a pencil tip. This TX only puts out 
a few uW given it's size.  But was received and listenable by a typical 
table radio.

Graphene is reportedly the next building block for all things 
electronic.  It's atomic structure allows single atom thick layered 
semi-conductors with greater durability than multi-atom thick silicon 
based systems.
