According to a report of nature (via Interesting engineering), Researchers of the Chinese Academy of Physics can create only one or two atoms, extremely thin sheets, out of materials, including Bismouts, Gallium, Indem, Tin, and lead. How, do you cry, is that happened? Some foreign content collecting techniques using the world’s most powerful magnet? May the ultra -high intensity lasers? No, squeezing very hard material with hydraulic press.
After our recent report of a speeding new transistor from the University of Packing, do not mention a Chinese EUV lithography machine to compete with the ASML, the result of this latest innovation by Old People’s Republic. Super thin “2 d” metal sheets This can make ultra -low power chips and highly sensitive, well, sensors, other high -tech novels.
Nature says “their low -tech approach produces a stable 2D crystal with more than 100 micro meters, which, according to this research, can be greatly improved in using more expensive and complex techniques,” says Nature.
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Physics claim that this procedure can be applied to any metal with a low melting location. This is not the first time that thin metals were created atomic. But the new approach allows to produce “massive, really 2D metals”.
For now, it is not certainly known what these thin metal sheets can have, but their relatively Large is said to have large size that they create new possibilities for practical applications.
Nature claims, “Some experts believe that this feat can revolutionize the method of making electronic devices, from low -power transistors to next -generation chips and super sensitivity detection.”
Traditional silicon chips are welcomed, with a slightly collision of the late wall, with Intel’s troubles and some elements of chip design are not shrinking as others, whatever helps to accelerate things is welcomed. You never know, in 10 years of time, your 10 GHz Hearts in the CPU will only be thicker to the atoms for the Besmut Transasters. This will definitely take a new spin on the concept of a thin and light notebook.
