CNFET Rivals Silicon Performance

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-ahead dept.

Baldrson writes "Applied Physics Letters is carrying a paper on a CNFET (carbon nanotube field-effect transistors) advance that now rivals silicon performance for both n and p type devices. There is also a New York Times article in which it is reported that "it would be two to three more years before I.B.M. was ready to work on prototypes of future nanotube chips and as many as 10 years before they would be commercially available". This is may be what's at the end of the road for CMOS."

    YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK YOU. You should be thanking Slashdot. They give you many hours of quality reading material all for the low low price of NOTHING. ZIP. FREE FOR THE FUCKING TAKING. And you complain???? FUCK OFF AND NEVER USE THIS SITE AGAIN. I HAVE READ YOUR POSTING HISTORY AND YOU HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SLASHDOT IN 13 OUT OF YOUR LAST 20 COMMENTS. If you don't like Slashdot don't read it and stop ruining it for the rest of us. It's that FUCKING SIMPLE, BIIIIIIIIIIITCH!

      It's not quality reading material, though, and they make us either pay them or get assaulted by banners.

  6. Star Warz: Boba Fett and the clones by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I question I have about Boba Fett and the clones is: If they moddeled the clones off of Boba Fett, why weren't they as good of killing machines as Fett was. They also should have been equipted with rocket backpacks in order to kill more Jedi.

    Also: the whole notion of a tiny rebel force attacking and beating the all powerful empire is just plain nuts. Its impossible. In real life those Jedi would be dead and the empire would still rule. Those Jedi just didn't have a fucking chance.

    Why don't we sign a damn waiver then... My wife and I love roller coasters and structure our vacations around riding them...

    How about something like this...

    "I ______ hereby certify that I am signing this document of my owh free will and that [amusement park] shall not be liable for any physical injuries that this ride may incur, or exasperate an existing medical condition, provided that this coaster has had proper maintaince and has been deemed worthy of use by its manufactuerer"

  11. "CNFET"? What's "CNFET"? Give us "Nanotech"! by Baldrson · · Score: 2, Offtopic
    Actually I submitted it to /. first thing yesterday morning and when I came back from taking a shower I saw it had been "accepted" and at the same time IBM Nanotechnology Transistor Faster than Silicon appeared as the top story on /. which was due, I presumed, to the fact that someone found this story being submitted by more than one person and decided to go with the shorter version of it.

    Guess I should have said "Nanotech" in my Subject instead of "CNFET".
