A 32-bit processor made with an atomically thin semiconductor
SMRTR summary
Researchers have developed a functional 32-bit RISC-V processor using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) instead of silicon. The chip, containing 5,900 transistors, operates at kilohertz speeds and can implement the full RISC-V instruction set, though it faces challenges in scaling and efficiency compared to traditional silicon processors.
