Aren't credit cards already that small they just include the rest of the card so it's a manageable size?

The real question is: Will it leave the fucking lab?! Graphene seems to be perpetually stuck there.
4vie
The way this is phrased makes it seem that a given segment of these flakes will change into the other the moment an electric charge is fed.
tynansdtm
Oh yeah, works if cooled to a few degrees above absolute zero. We'll see if anything practical ever comes of this.
SuitcaseJefferson
Room temperature?
somnif
Nope, "a few hundredths of a degree above absolute zero" so... not really room temp.

Im more exited for Spintronics : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spintronics

Non volatile memory ftw. Topological protection is pretty exciting too but i think we're a ways off from that yet (physicist here)

The number of hashtags is too damn high!
scummos
soon every word will be prefixed by a # character, at which point we can remove the character altogether and just assume it's there.
donthatemecauseimwittier
huh?
Ulthirm
Hey companies stop using hashtags every other damn word please, some of us might like to be able to read your messages, as shocking as that
Ulthirm
May be.
FINNSTAR7
So in other words, a transistor. Superconducting transistors are gonna be awesome.
dssl
Infinite power!
pelskedyr
Can wait to buy myself a super tiny transistor radio and listen to little richard and small faces

This is the dumbest joke I read in ages. Enjoy your damn upvote.

Note: Requires liquid-helium cooling for superconducting.
Prowler2142
Why? Graphene normally needs no help to superconduct.
WhatzitTooya
Even so-called high-temperature superconductors need cooling with liquid nitrogen, so that cant be true.
Prowler2142
Ah, here's the catch. Graphene super conducts at room temperature. But also requires extremely high pressure.
WhatzitTooya
https://physicsworld.com/a/squeezed-graphene-becomes-a-superconductor/ You mean this?

Now we just need to find some that work above 0.1 Kelvin.

Next step, brain implants. Getting closer to cyberpunk!! Wooooo!!!
suburbianart
DBT for tremors will be tiny, one surgery, and work forever! Then maybe I'll get it done!
RussellTodd
You don’t need brain implants to t-pose while riding a motorcycle! Live your dream now!
smashpro1
Can I get an implant that gives me the feel good chemicals?

We are on the verge of ending moores law. Transistors can only get so small before quantum tunneling becomes an issue. 1/2
Autofarer
the verge of ending moore's law is a truth for the past 40+ years, moore's law is the main drive of innovation to keep pushing the baundry 1
JackHammahTattoos
At which point, the trick will be stacking transistors without overheating them.
Mimsey
When I was taking classes like Computer Architecture in college the professors were already saying Moore's Law was over.
OrionRed
Those classes are getting smaller every year.

Soon your smartphone will be the size of a credit card, and your credit card the size of a postage stamp, and that the size of a microchip

Just like Futurama predicted. Nice.

I already got the vaccine. So now what?

TheWombatStrikesAgain
...and I already lost it.
calledwylch
How am I supposed to watch porn at work on a credit card sized phone?
MyOtherShipIsAPython
And THEN microchips will be small enough to be injected via a vaccine.
Shaows
Injected? Hell, you'll just breath a cloud of them in when you least expect it. They'll stick the chips in your cigarettes and drinks.
Sheldonian
We're in kind a pickle right now it's getting harder to make transistors smaller, we need some big breakthroughs to keep moore's law alive 1
Sheldonian
In some years we'll be at the limit and progress it's now coming from making more efficient arrangements and firmware.2/
Sheldonian
There's already some candidates but hopefully we'll find something practical soon 3/3
Bioman998
Didn't they want to look into germanium as an alternative to silicon or something?

Maybe GaN? Gallium nitride https://epc-co.com/epc/GalliumNitride/WhatisGaN.aspx

Your credit card will be your phone. Oh, wait!

Smartphones won't get smaller

Yeah I don't want smaller but I do want thinner, lighter, and above all more durable

My penis the size of a atom

Next thing you know they'll be injecting tracker microchips so we can receive 5G autism
OGymruOGymro
JUST HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!
Arkvoodle
The trick is to keep yourseld 3Gs of autism ahead of their microchips and wifi towers. My 8G is stronger than their 5G!

awkwardalpaca1
Shit, and here I am, stuck with the old 3G variety
KramitTheFrog
So you're saying that most of us only have the 5G to gain?

Pff injectable? How old school. I get my 5g through i duction wavw tech

I’m familiar with the thing you said
bigpahpa
They'll be the size of smaller boulders.

What's stopping postage stamp sizing now?
Thekey147
Adoption rates of more modern payment acceptors probably, esp in the USA... I'd also argue that there isnt a need for credit cards that smal
TheIsopod
Mistaking for an acid tab
Neomechavoltron
A different kind of trip…
BattleSalad
Slow down there. The process is very dangerous with our current tech.
Wor3q
Literally nothing. This is my debit card.
Felderburg
There's probably a cutoff where stamps become too small for people to grab and stick on.
OrangeFlavours
Aren't credit card chips already the size of a postage stamp? Just it's inconvenient to have a card that small.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Yeah RFID chips are tiny. Would be convenient to get it implanted in a fingertip, use different fingers for different cards.
SwissMountainsAreSoCool
Imagine the thieves running around chopping people's fingers instead of stealing their wallets
Aerolus
Oh your card is being declined and your bank is telling us to take it
OrangeFlavours
Bleh... don't exactly want it in my skin.
NotTakenImgurAccountName
You can already have a small pill shaped chip inserted in your hand to use as keycard or to pay at contactless terminals
messierthirtyone
And what about penis?
MyOtherShipIsAPython
That's getting smaller too.

While the sale of chastity cages goes up.
Apothecarius
At least the s-size cages aren't as expensive as the larger ones.

Tl;dr - This isn’t new, the yield is really low, and it only works near absolute zero
OrionRed
So you're saying IT'S GREAT?!?!?! (kind of going for the Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber thing were he completely misses the point)
tiderfish
That was my question. At what temp?
somnif
"a few hundredths of a degree above absolute zero" according to the article

I'm waiting for solid state batteries

Those are maybe a decade from early release? Lots of technical challenges before they become ubiquitous

Race is on to be on the general market by 2025
GrumpyOldMillennial
This is one of those technologies that is "just 5-10 years away!" For decades on end. I'm hopeful but not optimistic. Graphite was supposed
GrumpyOldMillennial
To be the huge leap forward 5 years ago and nowadays you hear absolutely nothing about graphene batteries. They were supposed to have been
Gonnaderpya
Ya but when they do hoooooooooly shit
PhailRaptor
Didn't they make a superconductor recently that functioned as high as -120 C?
APerfectlyNormalPieceOfToast
They actually made one that works at about +15 C. At ridiculously high pressure. But it still set a precident and opened new doors.
PhailRaptor
I feel like, at our level of technology, ridiculously high pressure is more easily achievable than ridiculously low temperature
GentleBen1901
However the difference in failure modes between those two can be substantial
