IEEE Spectrum interviews Huamin Li, assistant professor of electrical engineering, about new transistor technology. The article reports that by combining graphene and molybdenum disulfide, researchers have made a transistor that operates at half the voltage and has a higher current density than any state-of-the-art 2D transistor previously under development.

WGRZ-TV featured Ken Regan, associate professor of computer science and engineering, in a story about the rise of online cheating in chess competitions during the pandemic.

Technology quotes Qiaoqiang Gan, professor of electrical engineering, on the advancement of a chemical sensing chip that could lead to handheld devices that detect trace chemicals — everything from illicit drugs to pollution — as quickly as a breathalyzer identifies alcohol.

The medical device trade websites, Mass Device and Medical Design & Outsourcing, report that UB spinoff company Garwood Medical Devices has received a $749,000 federal grant to evaluate if its BioPrax medical device can prevent, control, and eliminate bacterial biofilm infections associated with orthopedic implants.

Electro Pages reports on a study of a new, two-dimensional transistor developed by UB researchers that’s made of graphene and molybdenum disulfide and could help usher in a new era of computing.

SemiConductor Digest, Science Daily and other news outlets report on a study of a new, two-dimensional transistor made of graphene and molybdenum disulfide that could help usher in a new era of computing.
