- Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists
- A pair of physicists have shown that if processors continue to accelerate in accordance to Moore's Law, we'll hit the wall of faster processing in roughly 75 years. The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today's manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink...

- Peeling stickers inspire new path for stretchable electronics
- For some, there's inspiration to be found in unremarkable daily minutia. A team of researchers who studied stickers peeling from windows say that what they've observed could lead to a new way to precisely control the fabrication of stretchable electronics.

- Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers
- 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. These tiny building blocks are quite extraordinary-some even self-assemble. And they'll help overcome many of the limitations of today's microelectronics...

- Material found in pencils may hold key to faster computer chips
- Move over silicon because graphene, the sheet-like form of carbon found in graphite pencils, may hold the key to smaller and faster electronics. In a paper published in the journal Advanced Materials, engineers at Ohio State University describe a technique for stamping many graphene sheets onto...

- Looking at single atoms of hydrogen
- As you probably know, graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms packed in a dense two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. And it recently became very popular recently as a basis for ultra-fast transistors. Now, according to Science News, U.S. researchers are using graphene to image individual hydrogen atoms via a standard...

- Graphene-based transistors on the way?
- The idea of replacing silicon with carbon to make computer chips is not new. However, using graphene -- a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice -- wasn't feasible because it is not possible today to make wafers as big as ones made from silicon. But two...

- A one-atom thick billiard table
- A team of physicists at the University of California at Riverside UCR have found that graphene, which was isolated experimentally only less than three years ago, and which is a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings, can act as an atomic-scale billiard table. They found that...
