An increase in the conductivity of semiconductors such as silicon present in solar cells and computer chips, in the presence of light is a widely accepted principle. MIT researchers have invented a distinct two-dimensional semiconductor which acts as a poor conductor under illumination. The semiconductor is made of a single molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) layer, as thick as three atoms.
