Isotropic Silicon?
jmichaelg asks: "The Register ran this story on isotropic silicon. Among the claims for isotropic silicon is that with a more homogenous lattice, heat is more evenly distributed. That means processors can reach higher speeds simply by being manufactured using isotropic silicon wafers. There's a sidebar at The Register about 1.7 Ghz Athlons manufactured with this stuff. According to the manufacturer's FAQ, isotropic silicon is produced chemically. Is this possible? I thought isotopes were chemically identical and differed only in the number of neutrons they have. Is this real or is it marketing froth?" -
Directions In Nanotech

However, they will be able to leap into nanotechnology with this purchase and Sony is buying into the technology in a big way for the solid revenue stream. Isonics is providing pure isotopes that should also assist in nanotechnologies with pure Silicon-28 succeeds in proving that pure isotopes perform with cooler thermal profiles. " -
