Moore\u2019s Law<\/a>. Moore\u2019s Law describes an exponential, long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. According to Moore\u2019s Law, the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles roughly every two years while the cost remains inexpensive. Intel executive David House interpreted Moore\u2019s Law in the context of chip performance, which doubles every 18 months. This trend has continued for more than half a century.<\/p>\nThe single-atom transistor comes several years earlier than Moore\u2019s Law would have anticipated. The tiny transistor, however, must be kept at -391 degrees Fahrenheit. Though the process used to create the transistor is reliably repeatable, the accomplishment is not a step towards the manufacture of such transistors, but rather, proof that they are possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
On Sunday, February 19, Australian and American physicists working at Purdue University and the University of New South Wales reported in the journal Nature Nanotechnology that they successfully built a working transistor from a single atom\u00a0using a reliable and repeatable process. Transistors are the fundamental building blocks of computers and many other modern electronic devices; […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[905,907,31,908,906],"tags":[2240,2238,2239],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8888"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8888"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8934,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8888\/revisions\/8934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
