Summary:
A new technique could solve one of the biggest challenges in making future computer chips from ultrathin materials.
Researchers found that coating molybdenum disulfide with oxygen or fluorine lets manufacturers remove just the top layer
of atoms much more safely during plasma processing.
The result is a cleaner, more controlled path toward smaller and more capable electronics.
