In a world first, they used two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are only an atom thick and retain their properties at that scale, unlike silicon, to develop a computer capable of simple operations.

“Our 2D CMOS computer operates at low-supply voltages with minimal power consumption and can perform simple logic operations at frequencies up to 25 kilohertz,” said first author Subir Ghosh ...

To make the computer, the researchers used two different 2D materials: molybdenum disulfide for one type of transistor and tungsten diselenide for another. Image: Conceptual illustration of a ...

DeepMind, Google’s artificial intelligence subsidiary in London, has developed a self-training vision computer that generates “a full 3D model of a scene from just a handful of 2D snapshots ...
