US Scientists Create First Two-Dimensional Transistor

Just when it looked like electronic components could not get smaller, scientists in the United States announced that they have created the first transistor that - for all practical purposes - has only two dimensions. Such transistors could someday be used for building flexible high-resolution displays that need very little energy. An atom is only about one-tenth of a billionth of a meter wide, so a layer of any material that thin may be considered two-dimensional. Two groups of...
