IBM: New Microprocessors Built by…DNA?
IBM researchers, working with Paul W. K . Rothemund of Cal Tech are working on a new way of building chips: arranging DNA origami structures on microprocessors that are compatible with semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Their research looks to preserve Moore’s Law, which says that every two years the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles. For four decades, Moore’s Law (named for Intel’s…
Moore’s Law Could be Preserved Due to DNA
IBM researchers in conjunction with Paul W. K . Rothemund of the California Institute of Technology are working on a new technology that is will allow them to arrange DNA origami structures on surfaces that are compatible with current semiconductor manufacturing equipment capabilities.
This research is part of an ongoing effort to maintain Moore’s Law, which says that every two years the amount of transistors that can be placed on…
