In addition, skyrmions in 2D are smaller than those in 3D, enhancing quantum phenomena. KRISS succeeded in generating and controlling skyrmions in 2D magnets at room temperature.

Prototype 2D devices have so far demonstrated 13% efficiency. Researchers can now attempt to drive up that efficiency by changing the thickness of the layers within the ‘sandwich’.

Figure illustrates the atomic structure of molybdenum disulfide 2D material. Lehigh University researcher Fadi Abdeljawad is working on a three-year collaboration with the Department of Energy’s ...
