"Atom-by-Atom Film Boosts Electron Speed 7x Over Semiconductors"
Scientists have developed a razor-thin crystalline film semiconductor that allows electrons to move seven times faster than in traditional semiconductors, potentially revolutionizing electronic devices by improving efficiency and reducing energy waste. The film, made from ternary tetradymite and created using molecular beam epitaxy, could lead to advancements in wearable thermoelectric and spintronic devices.
