Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists
"The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today’s manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink transistors and the copper wires that connect them. Processor fabrication using new technologies such as imprint lithography, graphene, and quantum computing will continue to yield faster and smaller chips. "
PC sales fall as economy contracts
Worldwide sales of personal computers fell 2.4 per cent in the second quarter and declined by 19.1 per cent in value, market research firm IDC reported Wednesday.
Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers | Emerging Technology Trends | ZDNet.com
Architects of the next generation of computers are developing a variety of nanostructures to meet the demand for increasingly smaller features for semiconductors, microprocessors, and other components.
A refrigerator inside your laptop? | Emerging Technology Trends | ZDNet.com
They’ve developed a miniature refrigeration system small enough to fit inside laptops. Unlike conventional cooling systems, which use fans to cool chips down to ambient temperature, these small refrigerators will cool them below surrounding temperatures. It is an interesting idea to get compressors instead of fans in our laptops, but these tiny fridges are still more expensive than fans.
