In a world first, a team led by researchers at Penn State used two-dimensional materials, which are only an atom thick and retain their properties at that scale, unlike silicon, to develop a computer capable of simple operations. The advancement, published in Nature, represents a major leap toward the realization of thinner, faster and more energy-efficient electronics, the researchers said.
Sooo … is it a conceptual illustration, or an actual SEM image?
Pretty sure the illustration here is just being used to demonstrate what’s taking place visually for the reader!
The ‘laptop’ is s conceptual illustration. The image shown on the laptop screen is an actual SEM image.
