#chipwar #semiconductors #uschinatechwar For sixty years, every chip on Earth has thought in silicon. That may be about to change. Scientists have built the world's most complex processor made from a 2D semiconductor — molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) — with a channel just three atoms thick. In this video we break down the post-silicon roadmap: why transistor scaling is hitting a physics wall, how the WUJI RISC-V processor proves atomically thin chips can actually run programs, why low-temperature MoS2 growth from CDimension could unlock true monolithic 3D computing, and what imec's logic roadmap says about silicon's future. Next-generation chips, 2D materials, and the quiet shift toward vertical computing — explained. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 The date the industry buried in its roadmap 0:42 Everyone's watching the wrong chip race 1:14 The wall: why shrinking silicon stopped working 2:08 imec's roadmap and the 2041 channel switch 3:12 Why "3 atoms thick" is about control, not size 4:18 The energy
