Modern microprocessor built from complementary carbon nanotube transistors https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1493-8
Wonder if these materials are the kind of thing the "make your own integrated circuits" people would be able to use?
> at frequencies up to 25 kilohertz
How high could this technique go?
> molybdenum disulfide for n-type transistors and tungsten diselenide for p-type transistors
I wonder how this compares in speed and capabilities to photonic computers
Molybdenum and tungsten both have melting point much higher than silicon, Maybe these circuits could be a good candidate for Venus rovers?
Isn’t tungsten much much more expensive than silicon and harder to work with?
A small step towards Sophons
WTF is up with that illustration at the top of the article?
I had never considered this.
