Over at Nanotechweb is an article on some rather impressive research being done to create what are, for all intents and purposes, almost two dimensional. The process used by the researchers created transistors made up of two three-atom thick MoS2 layers, both slightly overlapped with graphene, sandwiched between two one-atom think graphene layers. The trick is in the use of graphene, itself unsuitable for use as a transistor but perfect for interconnects thanks to its conductance. Read on to learn more about these researchers and the process they are working on, including a link to their publication in Nature.
"Researchers in the US have succeeded in chemically assembling the electronic junctions between a 2D semiconductor (molybdenum sulphide) and graphene, and have made an atomic transistor with good properties. They have also assembled the heterostructures into 2D logic circuits, such as an NMOS inverter with a voltage gain as high as 70."
