A transistor made using two atomically thin materials sets size record

Enlarge / While graphene sheets can be large in length and width, their height is the same as a single carbon atom. (credit: Getty Images) The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and carbon nanotubes, however, […]

Atomically thin Cloth Create transistors that May reconfigure On-demand

Expand / / One club, just two behaviours. ) Right now, our chips are made on silicon. But basic limits on what could be accomplished with that substance contains investigators eyeing ways to utilize substances that have inherently smaller features, such as nanotubes or even atomically thin stuff. At least in concept, these can let […]
