IEEE Spectrum interviews Huamin Li, assistant professor of electrical engineering, about new transistor technology. The article reports that by combining graphene and molybdenum disulfide, researchers have made a transistor that operates at half the voltage and has a higher current density than any state-of-the-art 2D transistor previously under development.

“We were able to fully explore the untapped potential of 2D materials to make a transistor that shows better performance in terms of energy consumption and switching speed,” Li says.
