World's first non-silicon 2D computer developed

Ultrafast charge transfer in atomically thin MoS2/WS2 heterostructures

The charge transfer between two layers of different two-dimensional materials occurs at a much faster speed than expected, holding promise for efficient optoelectronic devices. Van der Waals heterostructures have recently emerged as a new class of materials, where quantum coupling between stacked atomically thin two-dimensional layers, including graphene, hexagonal-boron nitride and transition-metal dichalcogenides (MX2), give rise to fascinatin…

Atom-thin tech replaces silicon in the world’s first 2D computer

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide, they fabricated over 2,000 transistors capable of executing logic operations on a computer free of traditional silicon. While still in early stages, this breakthrough hints at an exciting future of slimmer, faster, a…

World's first non-silicon 2D computer developed

Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its crown may be slipping, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.

World’s first 2D computer built in CMOS

Researchers in the US have built a complete CMOS computer out of two (2D) materials for first time, even though it runs just one instruction. The team at Penn State used 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) for the n-channel devices and tungsten diselenide (WSe2) for the p-channel to build the complementary structures one atom thick. These […] The post World’s first 2D computer built in CMOS appeared first on eeNews Europe.

World's first non-silicon 2D computer developed - Science Tech Updates

Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its crown may be slipping, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State. In a world first, they used two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are only an atom thick and retain their properties at that scale, unlike silicon, […] The post World’s first non-silicon 2D computer developed appeared first on Science Tech Updates.
