Can 2D materials help improve electronics miniaturization?

Answered in Konstantin Novoselov's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Absolutely. The pursuit of smaller, more powerful electronic devices is a constant driver. Graphene and other 2D materials offer a path forward because of their atomic thinness. Traditional silicon-based electronics are hitting fundamental limits in miniaturization. With 2D materials, we can potentially build transistors and circuits that are orders of magnitude smaller and more energy-efficient. Imagine devices that are incredibly thin, flexible, and capable of unprecedented speeds. This is the exciting frontier we are exploring; it’s about harnessing the unique physics of these materials at the nanoscale to overcome the challenges faced by current technologies. It's more than just a new material; it’s a new way of building.
