The material is molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), which can be isolated as an incredibly thin crystal containing layers ... powerful method for controlling the structure and properties of two ...

On Wednesday, a team of researchers from China used a paper published in Nature to describe a 32-bit RISC-V processor built using molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as the semiconductor.

A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as its semiconductor component.

These results demonstrate that introducing potassium ions in this way is a powerful method for controlling the structure and properties of two-dimensional materials like molybdenum disulfide. “We’ve ...
