Chip Industry Sets a Plan for Life After Silicon - New York Times

Chip Industry Sets a Plan for Life After Silicon - New York Times "The development of nanoswitches has reached a point where it will be possible to manufacture them reliably at low cost, according to several researchers who have been involved in the preparation of the report. The New York Times obtained a draft of a report chapter titled "Emerging Research Devices."
The transition to new nanotechnology techniques could occur around 2015, when chip makers will have exhausted their ability to shrink the wires and switches that make up the modern processors and memory storage devices at the heart of the computer, communications and consumer electronics industries."
