   Hello,   
      
      
   Metal wires of carbon complete toolbox for carbon-based computers   
      
   Metallic carbon circuit element enables work on faster, efficient carbon-based   
   transistors   
      
   The final breakthrough can be attributed to a minute change in the nanoribbon   
   structure.   
      
   "Using chemistry, we created a tiny change, a change in just one chemical bond   
   per about every 100 atoms, but which increased the metallicity of the   
   nanoribbon by a factor of 20, and that is important, from a practical point of   
   view, to make this a good    
   metal," Crommie said.   
      
   The two researchers are working with electrical engineers at UC Berkeley to   
   assemble their toolbox of semiconducting, insulating and metallic graphene   
   nanoribbons into working transistors.   
      
   "I believe this technology will revolutionize how we build integrated circuits   
   in the future," Fischer said. "It should take us a big step up from the best   
   performance that can be expected from silicon right now. We now have a path to   
   access faster    
   switching speeds at much lower power consumption. That is what is driving the   
   push toward a carbon-based electronics semiconductor industry in the future."
