There are fewer of them this time, so I’ll keep them above the fold.

  1. Cut the crap with graphene,

    1) Graphene with length and width specs at will, 10^15 sheets at a whack, arises from plebeian chemistry,

    2) Gold trace circuitry is easy – etch, e-beam, ion mill, lithography, offset electroless plating…

    3) Terminate (1) with (revealable) thiols or other aurophilic moieties, then soak (2). Nano-transistors build themselves, five billion gates/CPU within minutes, for a hundred 20 nm architecture quad-core CPUs on a 30 cm diameter silicon production wafer.

    Stop trying to do it and do it. Hire a chemist, solve the problem, then fire the chemist and reward your managers. Bloody stop whining.
