Researchers Build First Molybdenite Microchip

Posted by Unknown on from the long-live-silicon dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Swiss team may have found an alternative to silicon microchips which could result in smaller, more flexible and less energy hungry processors. The Swiss team's chip does not use silicon, but molybdenite (MoS2) a dark-colored, naturally occurring mineral that is able to be used in much thinner layers (paywall)."

    No no. This is an Apple product. It is better, and innovative.
