  Houghton, MI (SPX) Apr 17, 2019 Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are promising for quantum computing and future electronics. Now, researchers can convert metallic gold into semiconductor and customize the material atom-by-atom on boron nitride nanotubes. Gold is a conductive material already widely used as interconnects in electronic devices. As electronics have gotten smaller and more powerful, the semiconducting materials involved have also shrunk. However, computers have gotten about as small as they can with existing desi ... read more |

The third installment of our SpaceFund Reality (SFR) rating is focused on space habitats. With this rating we begin to move into areas that are more obviously related to the SpaceFund mission of supporting "frontier enabling" technologies. While the launch database showed a field that is over crowded, many other critical sectors of the space economy are not, and some are frankly, wide open.
