Unlocking the Door to High Speed Electronics with Two-Dimensional Oxides
It has long been known that two-dimensional materials offer unique properties which could be used for many applications, from flexible electronic devices to faster, more energy efficient computers. Now, scientists from the University of Cambridge have discovered that two-dimensional oxides may be the door to the development of high-speed electronics.
In their study, the researchers have demonstrated that two-dimensional oxides have properties that enable electrons to switch between two different states within a few trillionths of a second. This is much faster than current electronics, which can take several microseconds to switch between 0 and 1.
The researchers believe that two-dimensional oxides could revolutionize the electronics industry, leading to faster, more efficient computing and memory devices. The team is now working on the development of two-dimensional oxide materials which could be used in high-speed electronics.
