Flexible electronics can benefit from ultra-thin materials of atomic thickness, which are used for manufacturing microprocessors. Recent breakthroughs have been made in this area by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, and the EU's flagship graphene project. These researchers are expected promote the development of intelligent hardware and applications such as Internet of Things.
"Two-dimensional Material" is a term used to describe a material which can be moved freely (planar movement) in only two dimensions on a non-nanoscale (between 1 and 100 nm), for example graphene or transition metal compounds, such as tungsten dielenide, molybdenum sulfide.
The two-dimensional materials are usually composed of several layers of molecules. Our previous focus was on graphene. Graphene and other materials like it, such as the transition metal disulfide compound, are two-dimensional. The materials are soft, small, light, and have good semiconductor properties. They are also suitable for flexible electronics. .
Microprocessors form the basis of modern electronics. It doesn't matter if it's consumer electronics like smart watches, smartphones, and home appliances or high-tech items such as supercomputers.

A microprocessor, which is a core part of the microcomputer, is a large-scale integrated chip that can be used to read and execute commands, as well as exchange data with logic and external memory components.

Thomas Mueller of Vienna's Technical University has been studying two-dimensional material. He believes that materials with two dimensions are the best candidates for manufacturing microprocessors in the future. Molybdenum diulfide, or MoS2, is composed of sulfur and molybdenum, with a thickness of just three atoms. This makes it a 2-dimensional material.

In order to achieve this, he worked with the researchers of Technical University of Vienna as well the EU Graphene Flagship Project to create a MoS2 transistor. This material is a two-dimensional "molybdenum sulfide". A new type of microprocessor is formed by 115 transistors. This kind of microprocessor currently performs one-bit logical operations. It is expected that it will expand in the near future to multi-bit operations.
