New super-thin ‘2D’ metal sheets could enable ultra-low power chips and can you guess how they’re made? Yup, by squishing stuff really hard
According to a report in Nature(via Interesting Engineering), researchers from the Chinese Academy of Physics can create super-thin sheets, just one or two atoms thick, out of materials including bismuth, gallium, indium, tin, and lead. How, you cry, is this done? Some exotic material depositing technique using the world’s most powerful magnets? Maybe ultra-high intensity…
