This enabled circuit operation below 3 V with an operating frequency of up to 25 kHz, which was constrained by parasitic capacitances
I would guess process improvements would help a lot towards lowering those parasitics. So I wouldn't take this initial attempt as a guide for ultimate speed.
Paper is sadly not open access, so I can't check if they mention this or have done some theoretical peak calculations or something. Would indeed be interesting to know.

Modern microprocessor built from complementary carbon nanotube transistors https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1493-8
> at frequencies up to 25 kilohertz
How high could this technique go?

Yes? But it’s been in research for a decade or two, based on a quick search.
It’s confusing to me because moly d is a very common lubricant, even for home uses.
A small step towards Sophons
Well with all the sabre-rattling by Kratsios on space time control, Sophons is not that far fetched.
Well—I, for one, welcome our new Trisolaran overlords!
WTF is up with that illustration at the top of the article?
Some attempt to visually represent molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide with the keys of a QWERTY keyboard.
Which if it was done properly would have WSe2 and MoS2 rather than seemingly random keys
someone tries to explain cmos to the graphics dept
To an AI prompt more likely.
If the frame is made of atoms what are the keys and display made out of? Quarks?
