US achieves billion-fold power-saving semiconductor tech; could challenge China

Researchers from the US and India have discovered a novel, energy-efficient method to change the phase of indium selenide using electric current. This breakthrough could revolutionize data storage, challenge China's semiconductor dominance, and lead to significant advancements in low-power memory devices for smartphones and computers. The process, described as resembling an earthquake and avalanche, is one billion times more energy efficient than previous approaches. The findings were published in Nature.
