Breakthrough promises better smartphone battery endurance

Shanghai scientists have devised a new material that can be used to develop two-dimensional, low-power-consumption computer chips, which may significantly improve their energy efficiency and have important implications for smartphone battery endurance.

Low-power consumption, high-performance chips based on the material will also support the sustainable development of 5G, artificial intelligence the internet of things and other fields, and promote the popularization of the next generation of smart devices, the researchers said.

As electronic devices become smaller and more powerful, the number of transistors continues to increase even as the chips themselves become smaller.
