One Step Closer to Molecular Computing
from the is-that-crumb-a-supercomputer dept
Researchers have produced molecules that act as switches, wires and even memory components. The catch is that they still have to put them together to form a working computer and they don't yet have all the parts. However if someone (or company) is successful in doing this, it will usher in an era of unbelievable computing power provided by molecular nanotechnology. I'm obsessed with the prospects of Nanotechnology, if you thought the E-boom was big, the Nano-boom will knock it's socks off! Thanks to Nanogirl news for the link.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
