One area where there seems to be major movement is in density of
transistors. I just read somewhere that IBM has once again figured out
a way to increase density considerably... I think it was ten times the
current "standard". I only skimmed the article, but I believe they were
talking about eleven molecule transistors, or was that traces?? I
should be paying more attention...
