To go beyond Moore’s law and reduce the size of integrated circuits down to single-atom thickness, researchers led by Jiwoong Park, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell, have invented a way to pattern single-atom films of graphene and insulating boron nitride without the use of a silicon substrate.
