Nanotechnology Gets Finer

Posted by Zonk on from the really-fine-grain dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet reports on a new level of detail found in nanotech construction." From the article: "Japan's NEC Electronics has developed a technology to make advanced microchips with circuitry width of 55 nanometers, or billionths of a meter, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun business daily reported Sunday. Finer circuitry decreases the size of a chip and cuts per-unit production costs. It also helps chips process data faster."

    I wish people would stop relying on non
    standard and bloated PC features like
    80 column displays. A hard carriage
    return every 40 characters means that
    your post be will viewable without
    reflowing on an Atari 800XL.
