World's Thinnest Technology---Only Two Atoms Thick
Health, Science & Technology By Hamodia Staff YERUSHALAYIM - The Vladimir Schreiber Institute of Mathematics, Tel Aviv University. (MathKnight) Researchers from Tel Aviv University have engineered the world’s tiniest technology, with a thickness of only two atoms. The new technology provides a way for storing electric information in the thinnest unit known to science, in one of the most stable and inert materials in nature. The allowed quantum-mechanical electron tunneling through the atomically thin film may boost the information reading process much beyond current technologies. â€...
