Called molybdenite (MoS2), this mineral is abundant in nature and is commonly used as an element in steel alloys or, thanks to its similarity in appearance and feel to graphite, as an additive in ...

Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have created integrated circuits using single-atom-thick molybdenite, a substance that's very similar to graphene. Molybdenite logic has ...

Researchers in Switzerland have made the first working transistors made from flakes of molybdenite just one molecule thick. A mixture of molybdenum and sulphur, the material is a semiconductor with ...

Researchers have demonstrated the first logic circuits made from molybdenite, a naturally occurring compound made of molybdenum and sulfide (MoS2). Efforts by researchers show the material can ...

Research carried out in EPFL’s Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures in Switzerland has shown that molybdenite is a very effective semiconductor. The mineral (MoS2), which is abundant in ...

Smaller and more energy-efficient electronic chips could be made using molybdenite. This material has distinct advantages over traditional silicon or graphene for use in electronics applications.

The discovery that 2D layers of molybdenite (MoS 2) produce light suggests that it should be possible to build light sources and other photonic elements from layered 2D semiconductors such as ...

Just be patient. Swiss researchers have developed a molybdenite light sensor, that they say is five times more light-sensitive than current technology. On an ordinary light sensor, the semi ...

Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created flexible, energy-efficient, high-performance flash memory from graphene and molybdenite.

Molybdenite is far more plentiful and about 1/70 th the cost of platinum, but poses other problems. "Molybdenite has a layered structure with multiple microdomains, most of which are chemically ...
