U.S. researchers develop mini CPU that computes with solar power, raising prospects for battery-free semiconductors
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have developed a self-powered integrated circuit that harvests energy from ambient light, detects chemicals in liquid and performs computing without a battery. The chip vertically integrates a graphene sensor, semiconductor logic and a silicon solar cell in a three-layer structure using 2D materials such as MoS2 and WSe2. The team said tighter integration can cut area, interconnect length, power loss and signal delay, with potential use in hard-to-access IoT and edge devices.

KAIST develops automated screening technology for 2D semiconductors
KAIST said on Wednesday its researchers developed a technology that automatically screens 2D semiconductors using only optical microscope images and connects the process to transistor fabrication. The joint study used molybdenum disulfide and differences in RGB brightness by thickness to automate selection and electrode design. Verified with atomic force microscopy, the method distinguished 3 to 8 layers, screened suitable samples from more than 120,000 flakes, and produced and analyzed 1,615 transistors.

KAIST sets AFM roadmap for designing next-generation advanced materials
KAIST said a research team led by materials science professor Seungbeom Hong (홍승범) published a review paper that organises atomic force microscope (AFM)-based ferroelectric research strategies and presents analysis and manipulation guidelines. The team proposed an integrated framework combining techniques including PFM, KPFM and C-AFM to capture material structure and charge distribution at the nanoscale. The paper also highlighted applications to materials such as MoS2 and ultrathin HfZrO2 systems, and suggested combining high-speed AFM with AI.
