Read MoreChina Team Develops 6000 Transistor Chip with 2D Transistors
Chinese researchers at Fudan University have unveiled RV32-WUJI, the most advanced 2D-material-based microprocessor to date, constructed from molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and just three atoms thick. Packing 5,931 transistors into a functional 32-bit RISC-V CPU, the chip demonstrates that 2D semiconductors can be used in practical logic circuits—despite current limitations in scale and performance. Leveraging machine learning to optimize the fabrication process, the team achieved a 99.7% yield, pointing to potential future applications in ultra-efficient edge computing and IoT devices. While still in its early stages, this breakthrough could mark the beginning of a new era in energy-efficient, atomically thin microcontrollers.
