Appenzeller 2-D Nanocrystal (IMAGE) Purdue University Caption Researchers are developing a new type of semiconductor technology, pictured here, for future computers and electronics based on "two-dimensional nanocrystals." The material is layered in sheets less than a nanometer thick that could replace today's silicon transistors.
