Nanowires Four Times Faster Than Silicon

evileyetmc writes "Advances in nanowires have shown that they may be the future in cheap, high-performance electronics. Researchers at Harvard have shown that nanowire transistors are are least four times faster than existing silicon ones. These nanowires show promise in being able to be embedded in plastics, and could lead to devices such as flexible displays that process information in the screen itself."

  1. So does that mean they clock in at 2.0THz? by The_REAL_DZA · · Score: 1, Redundant

    'cause that'd be four times faster than silicon...
     
    and no, I most certainly did not RTFA; this is Slashdot/em.
