Making one is virtually impossible , and the team created a large number of GNRs in parallel . The researchers say that the arrays cover about 50 of the prototype device channel area , which means that integrated circuits based on GNRs with the required high current densities are now possible . The narrow GNRs have a bandgap of about 0.2 . eV The process the researchers used consists of two main steps : a top-down e-beam lithography step and a bottom-up self-assembly step involving a block copolymer
