Researchers in Switzerland have made the first working transistors made from flakes of molybdenite just one molecule thick. A mixture of molybdenum and sulphur, the material is a semiconductor with ...

There are many layered materials out there which show great promise for many applications, especially within the optoelectronics industry. The most widely used being graphite. However, there are many ...

Back in February, Darren Quick wrote about the unique properties of Molybdenite and how this material, previously used mostly as a lubricant, could actually outshine silicon in the construction of ...

After having revealed the electronic advantages of molybdenite, researchers in Switzerland have now taken the next definitive step. The researchers have made a chip, or integrated circuit, confirming ...

Swiss scientists say they have a new candidate for making flexible electronic devices, after they successfully manufactured the first molybdenite microchip. The integrated circuit was made at the ...

Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created flexible, energy-efficient, high-performance flash memory from graphene and molybdenite. Molybdenite has ...

Researchers at Berkeley Lab, using a trio of single-atom-thick wonder materials -- graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenite -- have created the first all-2D field-effect transistor. This FET could ...

Just be patient. Swiss researchers have developed a molybdenite light sensor, that they say is five times more light-sensitive than current technology. On an ordinary light sensor, the semi-conducting ...

Transistors made from single-atom layers of semiconductor emit light when stimulated by an electrical current, according to new work by researchers in the UK, US and Germany. The discovery that 2D ...

Researchers at Switzerland’s EPFL (École PolytechniqueFédérale de Lausanne) are touting molybdenite,or MoS 2, for use in electronics (Reference 1).Using the material would enable manufacturers ...

Graphene has received a lot of attention lately for its ability to conduct electricity and disperse heat, talents coveted in the world of tiny electronics. This week Swiss physicists are throwing ...
