Physicists accelerate the hunt for revolutionary artificial atomic materials – Phys.org

Scientists at the University of Bath have taken an important step towards understanding the interaction between layers of atomically thin materials arranged in stacks. They hope their research will speed up the discovery of new, artificial materials, leading to the design of electronic components that are far tinier and more efficient than anything known today.
Smaller is always better in the world of electronic circuitry, but there’s a limit to how far you can shrink a silicon component withou…
