Transparent silicon creates 5nm transistors that's transparent and flexible.

This is basically equivalent to having 1TB of data on a small piece of transparent film smaller the size of a dime!

This is considering that current 20nm technology allows for a 64GB microsd cards that are smaller than a dime. 5nm is 16 times smaller(20^2 vs 5^2). 16x64GB=1TB.

It's interesting what can be done with graphene. Graphene is actually the breakthrough here. Graphene will probably replace silicon someday.

The density is really good. Apparently it has not transistors or capacitors in it which is what allows for it's high density.

Being transparent is useful for display screens (since they have transistors and capacitors on them) but otherwise not useful.
 
I have heard of several tech innovations like this one over the years that claim to have amazing characteristics, but all are still vaporware or in R&D and never leave it. This is pretty cool tech but until it becomes a actual commercialized product for purchase, I am not holding my breath.
