Scientists create world's thinnest material
Researchers have created the world’s thinnest material which they hope could mark a breakthrough in the development of super-fast computer chips. The sheet, which is just a single atom thick, has been used to make the world’s smallest transistor.
This innovation will allow ultra-small electronics to take over when the current silicon-based technology reaches its limitations, according to Professor Andre Geim and Dr Kostya Novoselov from the University of Manchester.
In recent decades, manufacturers have crammed more and more components onto microchips, with the number of transistors doubling every two years.
But the ability to fit in ever more components is now decreasing.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
