Nanoscale gaps reveal new design rule for atom-thin chips and memory

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered that nanoscale gaps between electrodes are a critical factor in the performance of atom-thin electronic devices. This finding challenges existing assumptions that material choice is the sole determinant for electrical leakage in next-generation chips.
Why it matters
This discovery provides a new design rule that could lead to more reliable, energy-efficient, and ultra-small electronic components.
