The promising new material molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) has an inherent issue that’s steeped in irony. The material’s greatest asset—its monolayer thickness—is also its biggest challenge. Monolayer ...

Nanoscale molybdenum disulfide memristors integrated onto standard CMOS chips achieve the lowest switching voltage reported ...

A scientific team has identified previously undiscovered differences in grain boundaries. According to the paper, it is essential to understand the atomic structures of GBs in order to control and ...

RV32-WUJI. a, Bottom, 24 WUJI chips produced on a 4-inch sapphire wafer. Top, zoomed-in optical microscope image showing a single die with an area of 6 mm × 6 mm, consisting of 5,900 MoS 2 transistors ...

Imagine a world where rooms are lit by their walls, clothes are smartphones and windows turn into video screens. That may seem like a bit of science fiction, but not for long. Researchers at MIT are ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials describe a specific class of nanomaterials that are comprised of only one or two atoms thickness 1. Of one of the most popular 2D materials is graphene, which is a ...

Memristors are a new class of electrical circuits—and they could end the silicon era and change electronics forever. Since HP first developed a working prototype with a titanium dioxide film in 2008, ...

Atom-thick layers of molybdenum disulfide are ideally suited for radiation-resistant spacecraft electronics, researchers in China have confirmed. In a study published in Nature, Peng Zhou and ...

Engineers from the University of Illinois have used nanotechnology to model a new membrane that can filter salt from seawater at higher volumes than ever before. The membrane is made from a ...

Researchers used their “Campanile” nano-optical probe to make some surprising discoveries about molybdenum disulfide, a member of the “transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) semiconductor family ...

The technique yields a hybrid material consisting of silica particles tens of micrometers wide speckled with MoS 2 flakes. The material’s blend of photonic and semiconducting properties and high ...
