Chinese university designed 'world's first silicon-free 2D GAAFET transistor,' claims new bismuth-based tech is both the fastest and lowest-power transistor yet

A research team from Peking University has published its findings on a two-dimensional, low-power GAAFET transistor, the first of its kind in the world. Led by Professor Peng Hailin and Qiu Chenguang, the multi-disciplinary team published in Nature, with some team members calling the discovery nothing short of a monumental breakthrough.

The Peking team has fabricated what the paper describes as a "wafer-scale multi-layer-stacked single-crystalline 2D GAA configuration."


"It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever," said Peng of his team's breakthrough. "If chip innovations based on existing materials are considered a 'short cut,' then our development of 2D material-based transistors is akin to 'changing lanes,'" continues Peng in a statement for Peking University's website (accessed via South China Morning Post).

Peking University is making big strides into the post-silicon and Angstrom eras.

Cool video about it:







So in short:

- It's a new tech which could be used for transistor going under 1nm.
- It's faster and more efficient
- Could exceed speeds of 500Ghz
- China has over 70% of the world's resource

can't wait to see it used in common PCs in 20+ years!


It feels like every new tech revolution never comes to market

Somehow Windows 11 will take 70% of this efficient.

correct, nothing ever happens

My God.... A university for ducks.

While I do agree, Silicon won't be usable in the near future because of quantum problems. We will have to move on to something else, and this is probably the best alternative for now.

Imagine the smell.

They'll either find a way to make it usable or computers will simply die. Switching over to stuff like this wouldn't work because it's the best magic technology until someone unveils some major issue or whatever. It happened to airless tires.

I know i'm exaggerating, but honestly, i see so many of these new tech innovations, like solid state batteries or quantum computing and stuff like this, and it never comes to fucking market.
It's always headline hype then forgotten about in 2 weeks.

we're gonna be playing games on X86 powered 7nm silicon CPUs forever because tech advancements are dead.
