Researchers from Tel Aviv University have discovered two-dimensional crystals that exhibit a unique control of distinct electric potential steps by sliding atomically thin layers against each other. This discovery has significant implications for information technology and novel electro- and opto-mechanical applications. The research team has established a stealth-phase company called Slide-Tro LTD to develop tunneling devices based on this technology. They believe that a wide variety of devices, from low-power electronics to non-volatile memories, can be created using this technology. The researchers also plan to explore manipulating other electronic orders, such as magnetism and superconductivity, using different crystal symmetries.
