fyi
I was going to post that this could be a really big deal but somehow that just didn’t sound right.
Now I’m thinking that this could be a really small deal. Like 1 nm.
Fantastic news. That 5nm gate has been bugging the heck out of me.
My previous cpu an Intel core I5-750, circa 2010, had a 45nm architecture. My current cpu, an Intel I5-6500, considerably faster, is 14nm. As the distance between transistors gets smaller, microprocessors get faster.

Transistor radios that can fit on the head of a pin!
Gates are fine, but Trump promised us a wall. How many of these will it take?
Interesting but I have no idea how you mass produce it.

There’s still a long way to go to leverage this combination of materials to commercially construct computer chips. The research team admits their feat is just a “proof of concept”.
...
Unless it can be mass produced in integrated circuits, it’s an expensive curiosity.
Perfect for a dental implant. Great! So I'll be able to have background music when the voices in my head have an executive meeting. Sound track for schizophrenics, some soothing nocturnes perhaps.
Nano robots.
Tunneling effects just waiting to happen
and then connected with some 22ga. wire.
” ... the heavier electrons in molybdenum ...”
What?
Science writers might know how to construct sentences, but they don’t know Jack about science...
yeah, i tripped on that also
I’m sure you are being funny but we are talking about moving atoms around.
Nano bots would be several orders of magnitude larger than what they would be constructing.
Man O Man

Funniest thing I’ve heard all week! Thanks!
