MIT engineers ‘grow’ atomically thin transistors to make super dense computer chips

As humans have gotten more and more dependent on computers for life and work, the need for more powerful and denser computer chips has gotten greater. This is especially true with emerging AI applications including ChatGPT-like chatbots. Now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technology that could help us build much more denser circuits on computer chips.

Conventionally, semiconductor chips like the one on the device you are using to read this are made using materials which have bulky 3D structures. Due to this, stacking multiple layers of transistors to make denser chips is quite difficult.
