Researchers Excited Over First Silicene Transistor, What’s It Mean for Computing?

World’s thinnest silicon material could lead to faster significantly faster computer chips

It’s not quite the Holy Grail of computing, though the creation of a silicene transistor has researchers at The University of Texas at Austin’s Cockrell School of Engineering giddy because it’s never been done before. In fact, human-made silicene was just a theoretical material up until seven years ago due to its complexity and instability when exposed to air. Now we have the first …read more
