The world’s thinnest technology—only two atoms thick

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have engineered
the world’s tiniest technology, with a thickness of only two atoms.
According to the researchers, the new technology proposes a way for
storing electric information in the thinnest unit known to science,
in one of the most stable and inert materials in nature. The
allowed quantum-mechanical electron tunneling through the
atomically thin film may boost the information reading process much
beyond current technologies.
