p-type 2D transistors mean atomically-thin CMOS is not far away

Van der Waals metal contacts could be the key to CMOS made from thin-film 2D semiconductors, according to the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), which has made contacts from chlorine-doped tin diselenide. “It was difficult to implement complementary logic circuits with conventional two-dimensional semiconductor devices because they only exhibit the characteristics of either n-type ...

Electrons mined for true random numbers

Scientists in India have created random numbers from a 2-d material heterostructure that pass US NIST (National Institute of standards and Technology) SP 800-90B and SP 800-22 testing. It is “an all-electronic van der Waals heterostructure-based device capable of detecting discrete charge fluctuations for extracting entropy from physical processes, according to the researchers in the ...

Robot crab the size of a flea

Researchers from Northwestern University have created a robot crab which can bend, twist, walk, turn, crawl and jump and is 0.02 inches wide. The robot was inspired by peekytoe crabs. ‘Robotics is an exciting field of research, and the development of microscale robots is a fun topic for academic exploration,’ says Professor John Rogers the ...
