It is based on transistors.
Well, may be.
Arranged in a rather unique honeycomb structure, the material is layered hexagonal boron nitride.
In a traditional computer, photons were used to store information by being in either vertical or horizontal polarization.
This material is very easy to fabricate, said PhD student Trong Toan Tran.
The research has been published inNature Nanotechnology.
It will be interesting to know if the new material would also work with Li-Fi.
If that happens, we might find ourselves in a new generation of computing.
