Newly discovered state of matter could extend Moore's Law
DV Hardware —
Scientists at McGill University in Montreal have found a new state of matter they call "a quasi-three-dimensional electron crystal". The scientists believe chip makers will be able to take advantage of this strange state of matter to extend Moore's Law and create more densily packed transistors, or a new kind of transistor altogether. ...

Moore's Law: Made real by Intel® innovation
intel.com 5/25/2009 — Intel co-founder Gordon Moore is a visionary. In 1965, his prediction, popularly known as Moore's Law, states that the number of transistors on a chip will double about every two years. And Intel has kept that pace for nearly 40 years. Today, we ...
New maskless lithography trick may keep Moore's Law on track
arstechnica.com 10/13/2008 — Getting past the 32nm feature size will be a challenge for chip companies looking to keep Moore's Law on track. Recently, researchers uses a low-flying array of plasmonic lenses to demonstrate fast, maskless lithography that could keep the train ...
