Ultrathin sapphire synthesized for advanced 2D electronics

Single crystals of atomically thin sapphire have been prepared at room temperature — something that many scientists thought was impossible. These materials could enable the development of the next generation of transistors for use in miniaturized chips.

This is a summary of: Zeng, D. et al. Single-crystalline metal-oxide dielectrics for top-gate 2D transistors. Nature 632, 788–794 (2024).
