Future computers will have chips made with exotic materials rather than silicon — and this little-known Swiss startup wants to be a big part of this

Chiral nanotechnology.

The rapid advancement of chipmaking technology over the past two decades has been primarily driven by the continuous scaling of silicon technology, commonly known as Moore's Law. However, as we approach the physical limitations of silicon, the industry is shifting its focus towards nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, graphene, and TMDs, which promise unprecedented chip functionality.

Nanomaterials hold the potential to revolutionize various electronic devices, including high-performance transistors, low-power sensors, and quantum devices. The global nanotechnology market is projected to grow from $79.14 billion in 2023 to $248.56 billion by 2030, according to Fortune Business Insights Research, showing just how bright its future is expected to be.
