Text taken from the article itself: > Specifically, they studied a process known as pure shear strain, in which a layer of atoms slides over a second layer of atoms. The reliability and durability of very small electronic devices, in which temperatures fluctuations often cause materials to expand or contract, depends in part on how their components react to the effects of shear strain. The researchers determined that two layers of copper atoms typically slide over each other quite smoothly.
ok, so taking that into consideration it gives researchers a better idea of how to deal with the limitations of laying down circuitry as we approach Moore's wall.

Okay I have seriouly come to believe that Works by the Tofflers (Alain & Heidi) should really be deriguier for not just congress-critters, but engineers, volunteers and the slashdot crowd. IIRC there was a section where in they posed this same set of dilemas, how to help a preindustrial country (first wave) become self-suffecient, and adept in the shadow of countries orders of magnitued more (technologically) advanced, as well as how to make sure that they aren't swept away in the rushing tidal force of change (the third wave). He cites and example of how a 3rd world country "ethiopia" (don't quote me) was being provided with aide from western countries... that were prone to breaking (outdated and dilapidated farm equipment) and which required both a. a strong interlaced and economically viable infastructure of parts, manufacturing and repair work b. heinous amounts of capital in order to fuel and promote the equipment. In the example they contrasted the views that foreign aid officers were having at the time, ei Why do they need modern tech that they can't sustain when they have lots of cheep labour and sickles? Well it turns out that strenious, back breaking hand labour like that produced crop yields to be measured in mere tens of bushells per person per day, compare that (a the tofflers did) to old reliable (relatively) and low/old tech McCormick equipment from America of the 1800's which though astoundingly old today *still* produced yield orders of magnitude higher.... for just 1 unit. Don't get me wrong i'm am hardly advocating forcing some small poor rual country to become either: a. an industrial slum, destroying their enviornment, their children's health, and any semblance of economice stabilizers, becoming a slave-labour pool for ours, or other's intrest b. a hot bed of high-tech whiz kids who will do *anything* for H1b visas just so long as you dial this 1-900# (got a couple of those already, India and Pakistan come to mind).
No, what I recoment is that yes you should use your code-fu skills to develope/enhance *free* apps for tool design, for logistics/resource sharing . By now i am sure some one will point out the obvious... how can you run a computer withought electricity?... well fine use your engineering degrees for some durable electricity generating devices... use solar/thermal power , human power , waste refinement.... designe something that can be made using cheap donated and spare LOCALLY Availiable parts. You could run a medical care unit, or an disaster refugee tent with some of those alternate power sources. In short it all boils down to this: Don't just give 'em fish, teach em to fish. or in slashdot parlance: Don't just donate your old commie, theach em how to cook with the waste heat(eventually they'll get a p4 or AMD;-)
