Researchers Making the Case for Using Exotic Materials to Help Microchips Keep Improving

The huge increases in the power and capacity of computers, cell phones and communications networks in the last 40 years have been the result of ever-shrinking silicon transistors. But silicon transistors are now getting so small that they're running up against fundamental physical limits: soon, it will be impossible to squeeze any better performance out of them.
