In a world first, a team led by researchers at Penn State used two-dimensional materials, which are only an atom thick and retain their properties at that scale, unlike silicon, to develop a computer capable of simple operations. The advancement, published in Nature, represents a major leap toward the realization of thinner, faster and more energy-efficient electronics, the researchers said.
Sooo … is it a conceptual illustration, or an actual SEM image?
The ‘laptop’ is s conceptual illustration. The image shown on the laptop screen is an actual SEM image.
Pretty sure the illustration here is just being used to demonstrate what’s taking place visually for the reader!
