We've been talking about #-Link-Snipped-# for quite some time now. The one atom thick Graphene opened up newer possibilities in research because of its exceptional strength and other novel properties. However, Graphene was just a start. It looks like the new discovery of 2-dimensional materials could open up even more research opportunities. The latest one is a 2-D molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2</sub>) - the material that has been used for decades as an industrial lubricant; but not in its 2-D form. It was only a year ago that its use in 2-D form was proposed by researchers in Switzerland. Researchers working on MoS<sub>2</sub> have already succeeded in developing a number of electronic circuit components. The new material can lead to a whole new possibilities of life-changing products like walls that glow on their own or clothes with embedded electronics or glass with a built-in screen.

Tomás Palacios, the Emmanuel E. Landsman Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science believes that this is the most exciting time for electronics in the last 20 to 30 years. The two dimensional materials are opening up a whole new opportunity for electronic devices.
