Author Topic: The computer of the future?  (Read 1827 times)

forget future computers that may never exist.

The real mind-blowing future stuff is carbon nano tubes (read up on it, it will blow your mind all over the loving keyboard).

Hopefully they'll come up with a better internet before then :s

Carbon Nanotubes and Quantum Theory based computers have nothing to do with each other... :/

Carbon Nanotubes and Quantum Theory based computers have nothing to do with each other... :/

Two points:

1. Topic about future stuff

2. Wrong, because
Quote
Most recently, collaborating American and Chinese researchers at Duke University and Peking University announced a new CVD recipe involving a combination of ethanol and methanol gases and quartz substrates resulting in horizontally aligned arrays of 95-98% semiconducting nanotubes. This is considered a large step towards the ultimate goal of producing perfectly aligned, 100% semiconducting carbon nanotubes for mass production of electronic devices.[68]
Nanotubes are the future of computing.


EDIT: that translates as: A computer that produces almost no heat and uses as much power as a AA battery.

Alright, I stand corrected in saying they have nothing to do with each other. But still, they are different technologies, and someday may be combined to create a computer or device like no other.

Bump for stuffstorm


Yeah, Silicon doesn't go much further than we already are. As soon as some scientist makes molecular scale logic gates, then stuff gets real.
