The new bismuth-based transistor could revolutionize chip design, offering higher efficiency while bypassing silicon’s limitations.

Built using bismuth oxyselenide (Bi₂O₂Se), a high-mobility 2D material, the transistor operates at lower voltages and could enable ultra-dense chip designs with better performance per watt.

Well, the Peking team has used bismuth in both the semiconductor and high-dielectric oxide. It's a post-transitional metal, which also applies to lead, gallium, indium and tin, among others.
