Researchers look beyond silicon to boost electronics speeds to 'almost instant'


Computer silicon can move electrons fast, but researchers want to make something even faster. A team at Oregon State University has been working for several years now on a new type of electronics that could transport electrons "almost instantaneously." They say that it could ultimately mean the creation of "extremely high-speed computers" along with improvements to cellphones, TVs, displays, and microelectronics at large.
