FWIU there is certainly semiconductivity in graphene and there is also superconductivity in graphene at room temperature.
And traces can be lased into clothing, fruit peels, and probably carboniferous wafers.
Which electronic components cannot be made from graphene or other forms of carbon?

> maybe glass on quantum dots in synthetic DNA, and then still wave function storage and transmission; scale the quantum interconnect
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38608859 re: 2DPA-1 polyamide :
>> However, in the new study, Strano and his colleagues came up with a new polymerization process that allows them to generate a two-dimensional sheet called a polyaramide. For the monomer building blocks, they use a compound called melamine, which contains a ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms. Under the right conditions, these monomers can grow in two dimensions, forming disks. These disks stack on top of each other, held together by hydrogen bonds between the layers, which make the structure very stable and strong.
If not glass or polyamide 2DPA-1,
Maybe aerogels? Can high-carbon aerogels be lased into multilayer graphene circuits?
From https://all3dp.com/2/graphene-3d-printing-can-it-be-done/ :
> However, because the atomic bonds are only in the lateral direction, it can only exist in 2D. Once multiple layers of graphene are stacked one onto each other, you get graphite, which has relatively poor properties. This means 3D printing pure graphene is impossible. A 3D structure is only possible when graphene is mixed with a binder.
There are so many non-graphene forms of carbon.
Is peptide glass a suitable binder for multilayered graphene for semiconductor and superconductor computing?
Do or can aerogels already contain binder?
