New plasma trick could unlock smaller, more powerful computer chips

2 days ago 11

Silicon has powered computer chips for decades, but engineers are increasingly running into the material's physical limits. To keep making electronics smaller and more powerful, researchers are investigating ways to combine silicon with new ultrathin materials.

One promising group of materials is known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). Among the leading candidates is molybdenum disulfide, a material just three atoms thick, consisting of a layer of mol...
