Firstly, thin layers of silver particles mean very limited power supplies.
That's a good point but it might be suitable as chips past the 90 nanometer node work on sub-1V supplies. Ideally, you would run all of your inter-chip signals at low voltages, too.
I'm wondering about the line width resolution. Is it significantly smaller than current PCB traces? Not a whole lot of cost information in the article either.
I was at IMEC last month during a conference (ESSCIRC, held in Leuven, Belgium) and I really thought that they had an excellent group of people with great research topics (cubic centimeter sensor nodes, new embedded RAM, nano-fab, etc). That is until I saw a director PICK HIS NOSE AND THEN SUCK HIS FINGER DRY!! When are scientists going to start researching social skills?
Did you really read the article?
"Why order tubes with such tight tolerances? An Iraqi engineer said they wanted to improve the rocket's accuracy without making major design changes. Design documents and procurement records confirmed his account."

If Kerry can't win the election, at least his thread can win the Slashdot Hall of Fame!
