Lead researchers Dr Ankur Sharma and Associate Professor Larry Lu say it would help create the next generation of ultra-fast electronic chips, which promise to be much faster than current electronic chips we use.
“Conventional devices run on electricity — but this material allows us to use light or photons, which travels much faster,” Dr Sharma said.
“The interesting properties we have observed in this material make it a contender for super-fast electronic processors and chips.
“We now have the perfect building block, to achieve flexible next generation electronics.”
