Artificial materials for more efficient electronics – Phys.org

The discovery of an unprecedented physical effect in a new artificial material marks a significant milestone in the lengthy process of developing “made-to-order” materials and more energy-efficient electronics.
Today’s silicon-based electronics consume a substantial and ever-increasing share of the world’s energy. A number of researchers are exploring the properties of materials that are more complex than silicon but that show promise for the electronic devices of tomorrowand that are less elec…
