    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?
