In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, study found that transistors built with this technique achieved high electron mobility and ultra-low resistance, bypassing the strict physical limitations that have historically stalled the scalable industrial production of 2D electronics. The approach also hints that deliberate structural imperfections can be engineered to solve interface bottlenecks without damaging fragile device components.
