Rapid industrialization advancements have grabbed worldwide attention to integrate a very large number of electronic ...

Silicon chip manufacturers like Intel and TSMC are constantly outdoing themselves to make ever smaller features, but they are getting closer to the physical limits of silicon. “We already have very, ...

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 ...

2H-NbO₂—a novel van der Waals oxide synthesized by researchers from Japan—exhibits strongly correlated electronic properties with two-dimensional flexibility. By chemically extracting lithium ions ...

Moon-Ho Jo, director of the IBS Center for Van der Waals Quantum Solids in Korea, tells Physics World how breakthroughs in ...

Materials scientists have succeeded in creating a genuine 2D hybrid material called glaphene. Some of the most promising materials for future technologies come in layers just one atom thick -- ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

As transistors scale down, they need thinner channels to achieve adequate channel control. In silicon, though, surface roughness scattering degrades mobility, limiting the ultimate channel thickness ...
