New materials for post-Si computing. Fundamental materials limitations are making traditional scaling of Si technology problematic in electronics. Continued performance improvements necessitate new materials, new device geometries, and new switching concepts. This issue of MRS Bulletin covers a range of emerging technologies for computation, communication, and storage and focuses on the need for new materials beyond silicon to achieve continued performance gains in electronic computing. The cover shows a schematic representation of a field-effect transistor with a transition metal dichalcogenide channel. The black spheres represent molybdenum, and the yellow spheres represent sulfur. Image courtesy of Stefan Wagner, University of Siegen. See the technical theme that begins on page 658.
