Facing the key challenges of two-dimensional electronics

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials enable advancing Moore's Law, yet creating these remains challenging in terms of material synthesis and architecture fabrication. In the issue of Nature Materials and Nature, Peng and co-workers reported facile methods for the synthesis of single-crystalline high-κ layered dielectrics and the fabrication of 2D fin field-effect transistors (FinFETs).
