New materials could boost the energy efficiency of microelectronics
By stacking multiple active components based on new materials on the back end of a computer chip, this new approach reduces the amount of energy wasted during computation.

The flexible chip could boost the performance of current electronics and meet the more stringent efficiency requirements of future 6G technologies.
