    Researchers have demonstrated the first logic circuits made from molybdenite, a naturally occurring compound made of molybdenum and sulfide (MoS2). Efforts by researchers show the material can not only replace silicon…

    So long as they don't claim that, "It can do ANYTHING". They'd gave to change the name to Molyneuxdenite.

    But can moly be one atom thick like graphene?

    Thats cool. Molybdenite is very similar to graphite in its physical properties. I TA'd Mineralogy a few years ago and students often have a hard time distinguishing the two. Its somewhat easy if they are both side by side, but if you just have 1 hand sample they are tough.
