New Delhi, April 20 -- A team of 30 scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has submitted a proposal to the government to develop angstrom-scale semiconductor chips-dramatically smaller than those currently being produced worldwide.

The proposed technology is based on a new class of semiconductor materials known as 2D materials, which could pave the way for chips that are nearly one-tenth the size of the smallest chips currently in use globally.

The aim of the proposal is to leverage these advanced materials to position India as a leader in next-generation semiconductor technologies.
