Background

Ever since the Noble Prize in physics was granted to two scientists in Manchester, England in 2010, a fierce race started between all the major industry giants (such as IBM, Intel and General Electric Corporations) to find a solution to the largest "problem" they were facing i.e. to find a way to mass produce graphene transistors, as the latter is the prerequisite for the next revolution in the High-Tech Industry.

At about the same, I also started my own journey to solve the same problem and entered the race. I postulated (in my mind) a new technology to mass produce graphene transistors and went straight to work on it in my apartment kitchen as my laboratory, as I had no access to a proper lab.

Very soon afterwards, I started “hiring” laboratories (at various universities and private firms) to allow me to do my experiments and research until I was finally able to solve the problems.

I invented a method to mass produce graphene transistors by making a slight change in the make up of the “gates” in the transistors: The conventional transistors use a metal to make their “transistor gates” whereas my technology uses a tiny piece of graphene (instead of a metal) to make the same gates. This simple substitution of graphene for metals makes the same transistor perform 10,000 times faster than before.

The enormity of the impact of my new technology becomes evident in a simple comparison between the “hottest new technology” (which is the 5G network) and graphene transistors. The 5G technology provides us with speeds which are about 100 to 200 times faster than the technology it replaces (4G), whereas my new technology provides us with speeds which are 10,000 times faster.

I take great pride in that my patented technology won the race against the giants of the industry (to be the first to mass produce graphene-transistors), and "beat them to the punch".
