• Ultrathin 2D Crystals for Data Recording and Storage Synthesized at ITMO

  А new class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that turn from 3D to 2D structures on their own has been discovered at ITMO. These can be used in memristors and ReRAM – technologies used for the recording and storage of data. Such crystals are created with solution chemistry methods without the need for expensive lithography, which significantly reduces their price. At the same time they are thin (starting from 4 nanometers), while their improved electronic properties make them an efficient component in memory devices and AI platforms. The results of this Russian Science Foundation- and Priority 2030-supported project were published in Advanced Science.
