Researchers Develop A New Material For High Speed Electronics
Speed is one of the key aspects of any computing system, and it depends upon the flow of electrons. Scientists at CSIRO and RMIT university have successfully developed a new two-dimension material that is able to provide ultra-high speed flow of electrons.
The new material is based on Graphene, a material that was created in 2004. Garphene supports high speed electrons but due to some of its physical properties, it cant be used in high-speed electronics. This new material is made up of layers of crystal known as molybdenum oxide. According to Dr. Serge Zhuiykov, who worked with the team, the new nano-material is made up of layers and within these layers electrons are able to zip through at high speed with minimal scattering.

Normally, when electrons hit any obstacle they scatter around it, but in the new material they can simply pass through it, that allows them to move faster. Using this new material, researchers are trying to develop smaller and faster devices. Under test condition, the achieved electron mobility value was > 1,120 cm2/Vs, that is greater than the current industry standard. Though a lot of work is still needs to be done, this material has got the potential to revolutionize the electronics market.
