IBM is growing microchips that could make computers 1,000 times faster

The supremacy of silicon might be at risk. For a considerable length of time, researchers and entrepreneurs trusted that carbon nanotubes would upset microchip outline. These minor, molecular-level structures could, in theory, be used to make chips that are six to ten times faster than today's silicon-based things and use less electricity.
IBM researchers have at long last opened the key to making microchips using carbon nanotubes. The advancement could lead us to the absolute most powerful microchips ever made preparing for injectable microchips and powerful computers.
IBM Research materials scientist George Tulevsk and his group have worked out how to "urge" the nanotubes into particular structures using similar chemistry used to grow a crystal.
The chips, which could be utilized to significantly enhance phone and laptop performance, would be the most powerful we've ever observed, and use considerably less electricity than current innovation permits.
Scientists have already conjectured that nanotube chips can possibly make computers 1,000 times quick than cutting edge version
Nanotechnology, a sweetheart of 1980s science fiction and has been making a big deal of rebound lately. Tulevski's breakthrough takes place after a year ago when a group built up another approach to pack more carbon nanotube transistors into a smaller space.
He said, “We’re trying to tackle that problem by borrowing from nature, because nature builds everything that way. We think that’s one of the key missing pieces.”
