These prototype processors made from atomically thin materials offer a glimpse into a post-silicon-transistor future, but scaling challenges remain. Read the paper: A complementary two-dimensional ...

IBM claims to have developed the world’s smallest working silicon transistor. At 6 nanometers in length (a nanometer, nm, is one-billionth of a meter), the new transistor is at least 10 times smaller ...
