World’s first 2D, non-silicon computer developed | Penn State University

In a world first, a team led by researchers at Penn State used two-dimensional materials, which are only an atom thick and retain their properties at that scale, unlike silicon, to develop a computer capable of simple operations. The advancement, published in Nature, represents a major leap toward the realization of thinner, faster and more energy-efficient electronics, the researchers said.

    I feel like I’d drop it, and it would crack in half.

      They say it’s 2D so I would end up setting it somewhere and lose it because I can only see the sides it doesn’t actually possess.

    This conceptual illustration of a computer based on 2D molecules displays an actual scanning electron microscope image

    Sooo … is it a conceptual illustration, or an actual SEM image?

      Pretty sure the illustration here is just being used to demonstrate what’s taking place visually for the reader!

      The ‘laptop’ is s conceptual illustration. The image shown on the laptop screen is an actual SEM image.

    That’s very cool, but does anyone else think the title image is AI generated? Neither image nor caption seem to sit right, nor fit together.

    Is the ‘caption’ actually (derived from) a prompt?
