MIT Developing Self-Assembling Computer Chips

Posted by samzenpus on from the so-easy-it-builds-itself dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on have released research detailing how molecules in chips can self-assemble, potentially reducing manufacturing costs. The researchers have developed a technique in which polymers automatically fall into place to create an integrated circuit."

    Does this mean the transistors and the capacitors don't have to drink at different fountains anymore? We've certainly come a long way.
