To continue making smartphones, laptops, and other devices more powerful and energy efficient, industry is intensely focused on identifying promising next-generation designs and materials for the principal building blocks of modern electronics: the tiny electrical on-off switches known as field-effect transistors (FETs). When deciding how to direct billions of funding dollars for next-generation transistors, investors will base many of their decisions on published research results.
