I had never considered this.

Wonder if these materials are the kind of thing the "make your own integrated circuits" people would be able to use?

> at frequencies up to 25 kilohertz

How high could this technique go?

  > molybdenum disulfide for n-type transistors and tungsten diselenide for p-type transistors  
Isn't this rather unusual?

I wonder how this compares in speed and capabilities to photonic computers

Molybdenum and tungsten both have melting point much higher than silicon, Maybe these circuits could be a good candidate for Venus rovers?

Isn’t tungsten much much more expensive than silicon and harder to work with?

A small step towards Sophons

WTF is up with that illustration at the top of the article?
