This TRN story bundle gives you an overview of today's computer chip research, and in-depth explanations of important advances.
Materials and processing research is uncovering potential alternatives to silicon and photolithography, while nanotechnology research is opening the possibility of making computer chips out of nanotubes and even from individual molecules.
The Computer Chips bundle includes a brief tour of recent developments that makes connections among key issues. It also includes the text of 16 in-depth TRN stories about key computer chips research projects, and eight related images.
The bundle is organized into two major categories: materials and processing, and alternative chip approaches. Story subjects include chips made out of diamond, circuits that carry magnetic rather than electronic pulses, and transistors made from individual molecules.
