An interfacial junction transistor that is made from molybdenum disulfide and graphene, and offers tunable output characteristics, can be used to create reconfigurable fuzzy logic hardware for edge computing.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown promising potential in water harvesting, but the water uptake of single-component MOFs remains limited. Here, authors fabricate vertically aligned MOF nanosheets on hydrogel membranes to achieve ultrafast water harvesting with high water uptake.

In moiré superlattices of rhombohedral trilayer graphene aligned on boron nitride, heating may counterintuitively promote spin–valley polarization, transforming metallic ground states into insulators at high temperatures, which deepens the understanding of isospin flavor polarization in correlated electronic systems.

A single electron quantum dot in bilayer graphene is a candidate for a spin-valley qubit, however its excited state spectrum has not been determined under relevant conditions. Here the authors accomplish this using time-resolved charge detection technique and set the new upper bound on the inter-valley mixing.

The fabrication of n- and p-type semiconducting channels based on the same layered material would simplify the implementation of 2D electronics. Here, the authors report a spatially selective doping method for the synthesis of wafer-scale p- and n-type 2H-MoTe₂ thin films, and their application for the realization of complementary 2D transistor and inverter arrays.

Two-dimensional monocrystalline gadolinium pentoxide with high dielectric constant and wide bandgap was prepared through van der Waals epitaxy, allowing the realization of sub-1 nm equivalent oxide thickness and low-power nanoelectronics.

Graphene devices have undergone substantial development in the past two decades, but introducing new materials into commercial foundries remains problematic.

Technologies based on graphene and other two-dimensional materials are being commercialized in a number of areas, including electronics. But, as work on the Graphene Flagship illustrates, challenges in the scale-up and industrialization of graphene remain to be solved.

An interfacial junction transistor that is made from molybdenum disulfide and graphene, and offers tunable output characteristics, can be used to create reconfigurable fuzzy logic hardware for edge computing.

Room-temperature magnetism is challenging for 2D materials as they tend to lose their magnetic order at increasing temperatures. Now, researchers have achieved room temperature magnetism in lithium-intercalated chromium iodide.

The monolithic 3D integration of 2D molybdenum disulfide memtransistors and graphene chemitransistors can be used to create near-sensor computing chips with high interconnect density and a vertical separation between tiers of less than 50 nm.

Metastable pentagonal two-dimensional PdTe₂ is grown and stabilized on a Pd(100) surface through lattice-symmetry-driven epitaxy.
