One could say that all the technological advancements we’ve experienced in the past couple of decades have been based on silicon-based computer chips. Our modern digital life relies heavily on these semiconductor chips and transistors found in silicon-based integrated circuits.
Yet, the pace of technological progress is rapidly increasing, marked by innovations like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and autonomous vehicles, among others. This indicates that silicon is reaching its physical limits. Opinions vary regarding the future of computer chips, but one thing is certain: Production methods and demands will undergo significant changes and new materials such as TMD (transition metal dichalcogenides) will become increasingly relevant in innovative product development.
NANOMATTER'S TECHNOLOGY USING TMD MATERIAL
The team is working on ultra-thin TMD-based chips, promising faster speeds and lower energy consumption than traditional silicon counterparts.

Apart from the limitations of silicon, the growing significance of AI is also a major factor. AI companies require high processing power and thus consume significant amounts of energy to operate their devices.
NanoMatter is currently tackling this challenge by focusing on developing the next generation of computer chips. “The future of computing lies in a new material called TMD (Transition metal dichalcogenides),” explains Mithun, describing their work. “We’re a Deeptech company tackling a Deeptech problem, committed to bringing new computer chips to market.”
NanoMatter is part of our Hardtech Innovation Accelerator Program. The team is developing a TMD-based computer chip that is only three-atom thick. This chip is projected to be approximately 1000 times faster and use 40% less power compared to conventional silicon chips.
THE TEAM
NanoMatter‘s team boasts a wealth of engineering talent: Emad specializes in semiconductor engineering with a focus on TMD materials and electronic devices. In addition to his technical expertise, he’s also an accomplished Spartan runner, recently completing a 15K run with 45 obstacles in early April. Congratulations!
The second team member is Mithun, who holds a PhD in Nanotechnology and an MBA in Technology Management. Despite his busy professional life as an serial entrepreneur, he’s also a dedicated father to a three-year-old son.
Finally, Anthony brings scientific experience to the team, holding a PhD and having spent 12 years as a postdoc researcher in Materials Science. According to his colleagues and friends, he also makes the best biriyani in Berlin.
BIG VISIONS & TMD TECHNOLOGY
“We have a dream that every computer chip in the world will be based on our technology. We are going to be the global leader in TMD based technologies.”
With such ambitious dreams the NanoMatter team came into this program to work full-time on their idea. Their achievements so far: securing pre-seed funding, establishing new industrial contacts, and gaining an advisor with 44 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, working with 35 foundries. Although the team members already knew each other, the program provided them with the opportunity to deepen their connections and improve their communication skills. NanoMatter particularly valued the pitch training sessions, financial advice, and mentorship they received at MotionLab.Berlin.
How will NanoMatter continue? The team will keep improving their chip while also licensing their technology to manufacturers. They plan to raise money through a seed-round investment to support their growth and research.
By pursuing these avenues, NanoMatter hopes to accelerate the adoption of their innovative TMD – based chip technology and solidify their position as leaders in the field. As the quote by Sam Altman says: “Computing is going to be the currency of the future.”
