A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has successfully developed a novel nanometer-scale 3D transistor using ultra-thin semiconductor materials. This transistor is the smallest 3D transistor known to date, with performance and functionality that can match or even exceed current silicon-based transistors. It is expected to open new pathways for the development of high-performance, energy-efficient electronic products. The related paper was published in the Nature Electronics journal on the 5th.
