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 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 ...

Engineers at Pennsylvania State University have constructed the world’s first computer entirely made from atomically thin two-dimensional materials, bypassing silicon entirely in a step researchers ...

A team of researchers at Penn State University have created a working computer using ultra-thin, two-dimensional materials instead of silicon, potentially paving the way for thinner, faster, and more ...

These prototype processors made from atomically thin materials offer a glimpse into a post-silicon-transistor future, but scaling challenges remain. Read the paper: A complementary two-dimensional ...

Engineers at EPFL have created a new computer chip that can both process and store data in the same circuit. It’s made using a two-dimensional material called molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), paving the ...

This conceptual illustration of a computer based on 2D molecules displays an actual scanning electron microscope image of the computer fabricated by a team by researchers at Penn State. The keyboard ...
