Корпорация Intel
Закон Мура, который утверждает, что компьютеры удваивают власть каждые два года, снижается на таких чипмейкерах, как Intel (INTC INTCIntel Corp46, 54-0, 35% Создано с Highstock 4. 2. 6 ). Процессоры стали меньше на протяжении многих лет, и в течение 10 лет чипы на основе кремния достигнут точки, где они могут стать меньше. Таким образом, охота начинается с новых методологий, которые порождают более быстрые и эффективные процессоры. Экспериментируя с технологией spintronics, инженеры Intel управляют спином электронов в транзисторах, чтобы обеспечить оптимальную вычислительную мощность и скорость. Графен, более гибкий и проводящий, чем медь, обеспечивает идеальную среду, в которой можно манипулировать движением заряженных частиц.Intel испытала некоторые трудности с совершенствованием своей 10-нанометровой (10-миллиардной метры) микросхемы, но проблема может быть решена путем травления проводящих каналов в слой графена.
Инвестирование в Intel представляет собой косвенную игру на наноматериале. Акции продемонстрировали устойчивый рост за последние пять лет до 19 августа 2016 года, при этом средний годовой доход составил 15,7%, а дивидендная доходность на 12 месяцев — 2,9%. Intel стоит перед лейблом стареющей технологической компании, которая тонет вместе с рынком персональных компьютеров. Его производительность в 2016 году в 2 раза в 2% несколько оправдывает эту точку зрения, но компания может испытывать импульс к ее состояниям по мере появления технологии графена.
ZEN Graphene Solutions (TSXV:ZEN,OTC Pink:ZENYF)
Market cap: C$177.52 million
With over C$2 million in funding received from the Canadian government, ZEN Graphene Solutions applies its core research operations to developing industrial-quality graphene. Utilizing its interest in the Albany graphite deposit in Northern Ontario, the company is developing graphene solutions for concrete and composite materials, ultimately for mass production.
ZEN Graphene Solutions announced in mid-2020 that it would be commencing a new research collaboration with Professor Mohammad Arjmand and his team at the University of British Columbia ‘s Okanagan campus. In early 2021, ZEN reached a distribution agreement with TreborRx for application of ZEN’s graphene coating on nitrile gloves sourced or produced by TreborRx.
Samsung Electronics Company Ltd.
Представьте себе сотовый телефон настолько тонкий, что он может скользить в кошелек или карман, как кредитная карта. Погрузите громоздкие зарядные устройства, потому что проводящий и емкостный характер графена может позволить мобильным устройствам идти месяцами, не теряя мощности. Samsung Electronics Company Ltd. (SSNLF) является одним из крупнейших в мире производителей сотовых телефонов, но также выделяется как сложный запас для инвестиций. Торги на корейской фондовой бирже, акции Samsung могут быть приобретены инвесторами У. С. непосредственно через этот обмен только после значительных административных усилий и расходов. Однако вознаграждение может стоить хлопот. К 2015 году компания представила более 500 графеновых патентов, и ее технология может значительно выиграть от достижений, достигнутых благодаря применению наноматериала.
Акции Samsung прошли очень хорошо, вернувшись на 34,9% до 19 августа 2016 года. Хотя компания не является чистой игрой на графене, потенциальная интеграция материала в его уже повсеместную линейку продуктов может переместить Samsung за пределы его статуса как седьмого в мире узнаваемого бренда. Благодаря широкому спектру потребительской электроники южнокорейский гигант может использовать графен в качестве средства для создания более широкого рва, повышая отдачу и ограничивая риск падения, присущий рискованным стартапам.
