"2D molybdenum disulfide, much lower switching voltages, higher data storage density... bridges gap between volatile memory (fast but loses data without power, like RAM) and non-volatile memory (slower but keeps data, like a hard drive), creating a best of both worlds scenario for future computing... artificial intelligence/ edge computing (where the demand for dense, low-power memory is rapidly outstripping the capabilities of current silicon hardware)... smartphones, laptops, data centers"
