From the abstract[1]:

This enabled circuit operation below 3 V with an operating frequency of up to 25 kHz, which was constrained by parasitic capacitances

I would guess process improvements would help a lot towards lowering those parasitics. So I wouldn't take this initial attempt as a guide for ultimate speed.

Paper is sadly not open access, so I can't check if they mention this or have done some theoretical peak calculations or something. Would indeed be interesting to know.

Yes? But it’s been in research for a decade or two, based on a quick search.

It’s confusing to me because moly d is a very common lubricant, even for home uses.

Well with all the sabre-rattling by Kratsios on space time control, Sophons is not that far fetched.

Well—I, for one, welcome our new Trisolaran overlords!

Some attempt to visually represent molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide with the keys of a QWERTY keyboard.

someone tries to explain cmos to the graphics dept

If the frame is made of atoms what are the keys and display made out of? Quarks?
