    Molybdenite

    First Molybdenite Microchip

    Molybdenite, a new and very promising material, can surpass the physical limits of silicon. EPFL scientists have proven this by making the first molybdenite microchip, with smaller and more energy efficient transistors.
    After having revealed the electronic advantages of molybdenite, EPFL researchers have now taken the next definitive step. The Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) has made a chip, or integrated circuit, confirming that molybdenite can surpass the physical limits of silicon in terms of miniaturization, electricity consumption, and mechanical flexibility.
    Marvellous.

      When I were a young man fixing my own cars the best socket sets were supposed to be chrome molybdenum, so I suppose it must be quite hard.

      You need a hard tool when working on an old jalopy or you can graunch your nuts.

        Yet more exotic semiconductors.

        Who'd have thunk it.

        Now if only it will superconduct at room temperatures, you hu-mans will almost have things sorted.
        That's so last decade

        Although personally I think this is rather more exciting.
