Source: Dailytech Our entire electronics industry is now based on silicon and its semiconductor properties. The race for more power increasingly hits against the technical limitations for burning chips. Yet hundreds of laboratories attempt to develop technology at these limits, where the quantum take precedence over the nanoscopic, searching their fame and fortune.
Researchers at Stanford University are on an interesting track based -- as a lot of advanced research -- on carbon nanotubes, which have increased in a short period of time from a scientific curiosity to that of the new Eldorado.
These scientists have succeeded in manufacturing an electronic circuit with 11000 transistors and capable of operating at 1 GHz.
While there is still a long way to go to realize the specifications required for the manufacture of a modern processor, this important step has been taken.
The manufacture of these components mu
