石墨烯片是石墨和大量碳基纳米结构的基石。叠层石墨烯片具有已知最高导热性的独特特性。通过操纵石墨烯薄片形成三维通道和相互连接，可以从微处理器和微机电系统等敏感的纳米级设备中提取大量增加的热通量。石墨烯堆叠作为电接触和互连的潜力也将被探索。通过结合热学和电学功能，石墨烯可以在未来的设备上更有效地利用宝贵的空间。其结果将是更高效的纳米级器件，以满足不断增长的性能需求。

Graphene sheets are the building blocks of graphite and a huge variety of carbon based nanostructures. Stacked graphene sheets have the unique property of the highest known thermal conductivity. By manipulating graphene sheets into three-dimensional channels and interconnects, vastly increased heat fluxes can be extracted from sensitive nanoscale devices such as microprocessors and micro electro mechanical systems. The potential of stacks of graphene as electrical contacts and interconnects will also be explored. By combining thermal and electrical functions, graphene will allow more efficient use of the valuable space on future devices. The outcome will be more efficient nanoscale devices to meet ever increasing performance demands.
