> molybdenum disulfide for n-type transistors and tungsten diselenide for p-type transistors Isn't this rather unusual?

  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.

    Isn't it a good lubricant because it's easily split into 2D layers?

    Something that is nice with MoS2 and the others are transition metal dichalcogenides and have some beneficial physical properties like a natural electronic bandgap, unlike silicon.
