Chipmakers are encountering atomic-level design problems. Is the future full of mistakes?
Synthetic biology is fast becoming the guinea pig for merging social and natural sciences.
Getting cheap biofuel out of microbes involves careful tuning.
The CPU is dead, long live the GPU. E&T talks to nVidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang to find out why he thinks the end is nigh for the regular processor.
Vertical integration seems so 20th century. However, it could be making a comeback, finds E&T.
Exponentials never last forever. Sooner or later, silicon transistors are going to stop getting smaller, if only because it’s tough to make one with less than an atom of silicon in it. The reality is that conventional silicon transistors will stop shrinking sometime before that happens. But how much sooner?
With globalization and technological developments changing market dynamics, it is time for organizations to reassess their business processes and start making some radical transformations.
The netbook has become a runaway bestseller, and as economic conditions bite, consumers are being drawn to the cheap, compact machine. It’s a prospect that could trouble PC builders and chipmakers alike.
The hunt for more performance at 22nm is focusing attention on the silicon crystal itself, E&T reports.
