World's First 2D, Atom-Thin Non-Silicon Computer Developed
In a world first, a research team used 2D materials — only an atom thick — to develop a computer. The team (led by researchers at Pennsylvania State University) says it's a major step toward thinner, faster and more energy-efficient electronics. From the University's announcement: ...
For more than half a century, silicon has been the foundation that sustains mobile phones, laptops and servers. Each generation has consisted of placing more and more transistors on a pill the size of a nail, like the one that fits LEGO pieces into an increasingly reduced space. However, there comes a point where the pieces become deformed: electrons escape, heat increases and the energy bill grows. The miniaturization that dazzled us begins to …
Indian American researchers develop world’s first 2D, non-silicon computer
A team led by two Indian American researchers at Pennsylvania State University have developed the world’s first two-dimensional (2D), non-silicon computer capable of simple operations. The development, published in Nature, represents a major leap toward the realization of thinner, faster and more energy-efficient electronics, the researchers Saptarshi Das and Subir Ghosh said. Using 2D materials, which are only an atom thick and retain their pro…
