New semiconducting borophene paves the way for the lightest high-performance transistor

https://phys.org/news/2023-01-semiconducting-borophene-paves-lightest-high-performance.html

"hyper-coordinated 2D network of boron atoms named clustered-P1 borophene showing bulk silicon-like band gap, yet lower and symmetric effective masses along transport direction... remarkable thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic stability... transistor of 3-nm channel length deliver 104 ON-to-OFF current ratio... balanced-mode operation of n- and p-type MOSFETs makes it suitable for CMOS performance... clustered-P1 borophene MOSFET possibly lightest high-performance transistor"
