This trend of microelectronics has only accelerated in recent years as scientists try to fit increasingly more semiconducting components on a chip.

Key Points: 
  • This trend of microelectronics has only accelerated in recent years as scientists try to fit increasingly more semiconducting components on a chip.
  • To avoid overheating, microelectronics need to consume only a fraction of the electricity of conventional electronics while still operating at peak performance.
  • Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have achieved a breakthrough that could allow for a new kind of microelectronic material to do just that.
  • Moreover, the redox gating technique may extend across versatile functional semiconductors and low-dimensional quantum materials composed of sustainable elements.
