A team of scientists from the University of Miami, in collaboration with two professors from Georgia Institute of Technology and University of Rochester, have developed a new kind of molecule that could revolutionize the chip making industry by replacing silicon or metal, which are currently integral raw materials in the production of computer chips.
The researchers have shared “what they believe is the world’s most electrically conductive organic molecule,” as per a statement released by the university. The study signals a novel possibility of manufacturing smaller, more powerful computing devices which are composed of chemical elements found in nature—mostly carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen.
