Though silicon has served as a reliable base for the last 70 years, it is nearing the limits of its potential to support technological advancement. Moore\u2019s law \u2014 a theory that the number of transistors you can fit onto a silicon microchip doubles every year \u2014 is slowing down, and researchers have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1369702116302917\">identified hundreds of materials<\/a> that fall under the 2-D family that could help us fit more transistors onto ever thinner microchips, to power the pocket-sized supercomputers of the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are 2-D materials?<\/strong> The atom-thin substances include black phosphorus, transition metal dichalcogenides and boron nitride nanosheets, as well as the forerunner of them all, graphene, the discovery of which earned its makers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobelprize.org\/prizes\/physics\/2010\/illustrated-information\/\">Nobel prize in physics<\/a>. Though recently obscure, these materials are now regularly fabricated in labs and can be found in devices on sale today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphene has already found a number of applications<\/strong>, having been used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/259756406_'Graphene_Thermal_Properties_and_Applications_for_Thermal_Management_of_Li--Ion_Batteries'\">cool smartphone batteries<\/a>, make <a href=\"https:\/\/thetrek.co\/gear-review-inov-8-terraultra-g260-shoes-with-graphene-grip\/\">athletic gear more durable<\/a>, and to manufacture <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/dn26626-bulletproof-graphene-makes-ultra-strong-body-armour\/\">prototypes for bulletproof armour<\/a>. Graphene has even been used to develop biosensors with applications such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/243763\/army_scientists_partner_with_darpa_to_develop_covid_19_sensor\">detecting covid-19 particles<\/a> and other pathogens in the air, or scanning virtually any biological matter for contamination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But 2-D materials\u2019 key use will be in the development of microchips<\/strong>, with scientists positing that the development of chips that support photons rather than electrons could significantly accelerate our computer power, as light is a far faster means of communication than electricity. In addition, 2-D materials could also beat silicon when it comes to chip stacking, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-secret-to-techs-next-big-breakthroughs-stacking-chips-1511034248?mod=article_inline\">already common<\/a> in flash memory and mobile devices. Because 2-D materials are so thin, stacking the chips would add significant power to a device without increasing its size, while the heat dissipating qualities of graphene mean devices would not be in danger of overheating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The graphene-silicon combo could also create better cameras<\/strong> that are ultrathin and ultrasensitive, because graphene can yield optical sensors a hundred times more sensitive to light than those made with silicon. Graphene-based materials can also make inexpensive, high-resolution infrared mobile cameras, which are <a href=\"https:\/\/spie.org\/news\/spie-professional-magazine-archive\/2018-january\/imaging-visible-and--ir-light?SSO=1\">already in the prototype stage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Future applications of 2-D materials we\u2019re likely to see over the next decade<\/strong> include adding new features to known devices, like infrared vision to smartphones, as well as creating computing devices that are far <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/graphene-computers-work-1000-times-faster-use-far-less-power\">more powerful and more energy efficient<\/a> than those we know today. This could enable new forms of human-computer interaction, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2013\/06\/augmented-reality-new-graphene-light-sensor-is-better-by-orders-of-magnitude\/\">augmented-reality systems<\/a> that fit into everyday eyeglasses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But 2-D materials still can\u2019t beat silicon on manufacturability<\/strong>, and that may be the key to keeping us silicon-dependent. Researchers are still looking for the right balance between desirable traits, cost-efficiency, and manufacturability, before being able to take 2-D materials mainstream. For now, 2-D materials occupy a marginal space in the semiconductor and tech industry at large, but as we stretch silicon to its absolute limits with our research into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-decade-of-quantum-computing-is-upon-us-ibm-exec-says-11614802190\">quantum computing<\/a>, and our demand for ever faster and smaller devices, we are paving the way for their heyday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The search for silicon\u2019s successor is on: Tech experts are looking to the next generation of 2-D materials to replace, or at least enhance, the material that has so far made all of our gadgets possible, the Wall Street Journal reports.
