The transistor's killer performance stems from the unique properties of the 2021 ferroelectric material, which is composed of razor-thin layers of boron nitride stacked parallel to each other.
The article seems to omit some data from the original post on MIT’s site. They did 100 billion switches with no / negligible signs of degradation. In the it paper they mention an endurance potential on par of that of state of the art FeFET devices. I couldn’t find a link to the paper freely available, but it seems to be a noteworthy achievement as the sliders only move a few atoms width per switch.
Oh that’s a lot more meaningful. It’s so disappointing reading news on topics I understand instead of root sources. I always wonder how I am being mislead in things I don’t know well.
I also wonder what happens after 100 billion switches since that’s such a trivial number.
Well from what I could find it suggests around 10+ years of usage. Not only is it long lasting, but it’s incredibly thin meaning far more transistors can be stored in one location. To top it off with that level of movement it could substation ally cut down on power usage. While it probably will mean the big companies will simply scale up in terms of capacity and their power usage will remain the same. It also mean in years to come when it hits the consumer level we could have phones and computers that overheat less and have a better battery life.
