Germanium
Organic life is based on Carbon, which has 4 valence electrons. Looks like this
    |
-- C --
|

When you move directly below the periodic table, the element below has the same number of valence electors.
Below Carbon is Silicon, which interestingly is what's using in circuitry.
So we move down once more and we get Germanium.

This.

For consumer electronics? Nobody knows. It's hell after 7nm

Carbon has 2 valence electrons tho.

That is not how any of this works

Please mr smarty pants. Explain to us how life works since you know so much

Graphene will only "not leave the lab" if they find an even better material or group of materials that outperform it. As you probably know, graphene is incredibly versatile and will thus be used for a myriad of things outside of computing as well as within. But in all likelihood it will make its way into industrial manufacturing within a decade.
