World's First Non-Silicon Computer

Edited by: Tetiana Pinchuk Pinchuk

Researchers at Penn State University have developed the world's first two-dimensional, non-silicon computer.

This innovation utilizes materials just one atom thick, offering unique properties.

The computer uses two types of transistors, n-type with molybdenum disulfide and p-type with tungsten diselenide.

This CMOS computer uses 2D materials, potentially overcoming limitations of silicon-based devices.

The team fabricated over 1,000 transistors using a MOCVD method.

While the operating frequency is lower than silicon CMOS circuits, it can perform basic logical operations.

This research marks a significant milestone in the field of electronics.
