Never heard of molybdenite? We're not shocked. Its not nearly as hyped as graphene or quantum dots, but it could be the key to smaller, bendable microchips. The problem with silicon is that, in layers ...

Back in February, Darren Quick wrote about the unique properties of Molybdenite and how this material, previously used mostly as a lubricant, could actually outshine silicon in the construction of ...

There are many layered materials out there which show great promise for many applications, especially within the optoelectronics industry. The most widely used being graphite. However, there are many ...

Researchers in Switzerland have made the first working transistors made from flakes of molybdenite just one molecule thick. A mixture of molybdenum and sulphur, the material is a semiconductor with ...

We've seen graphene chips, and we've seen molybdenite chips. What would happen if we combined the two? If EPFL's experimental flash memory is any clue, we might get one of the better blends since ...

Transistors made from single-atom layers of semiconductor emit light when stimulated by an electrical current, according to new work by researchers in the UK, US and Germany. The discovery that 2D ...

Molybdenite can make smaller and 100,000 times more energy-efficient electronic chips. Molybdenite is abundant in nature, is often used as an element in steel alloys or as an additive in lubricants.

Researchers at Berkeley Lab, using a trio of single-atom-thick wonder materials -- graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenite -- have created the first all-2D field-effect transistor. This FET could ...

Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have created integrated circuits using single-atom-thick molybdenite, a substance that's very similar to graphene. Molybdenite logic has very ...

Swiss scientists say they have a new candidate for making flexible electronic devices, after they successfully manufactured the first molybdenite microchip. The integrated circuit was made at the ...

After having revealed the electronic advantages of molybdenite, researchers in Switzerland have now taken the next definitive step. The researchers have made a chip, or integrated circuit, confirming ...

“We have built an initial prototype, putting from two to six serial transistors in place, and shown that basic binary logic operations were possible, which proves that we can make a larger chip,” ...
