UIUC Creates World's Fastest Transistor Again

An anonymous reader writes "The University of Illinois has developed (again) the world's fastest transistor operating at over 500 GHz. They used an indium phosphide based wafer, and super-scaled dimensions. The device kind of looks like a spaceship." Milton Feng, the professor in charge of the team behind the transistor, admits that their ultimate goal is a terahertz transistor, which given their previous achievements, doesn't sound too lofty.

    JESSICA LYNCH TOOK IT UP THE ASS FROM A BUNCH ON IRAQIS. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this [go.com] Turns out the Iraquis have a little Kobe Bryant blood in them. They like the old corn hole, too. Five minutes after Lynch was captured, they're passing her around like a pack of smokes, fucking her in the ass, turning her into their own personal goatse man.
