Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have devised a novel method to construct valley transistors in two-dimensional materials using brief light pulses, bringing us closer to realizing practical all-optical quantum technologies.
Transistors, essential components in electronics, control the flow of electric current and switch it on and off as needed. These on-off states represent the binary units, or bits, that enable conventional computers to function. Nanotechnology has advanced electronic devices by miniaturizing them and enhancing their performance. Graphene, an atomically thin material with a hexagonal carbon atom structure, is a leading example of nanotechnology's potential.
