First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled

[danrok]

The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices.

"Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models.

Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward.

The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature.

looks to be a few week s off to me....":O}

But when it arrives we'll have a whole new world...

Just like with quantum computers.

Oh wait, that hasn't happened yet, either. /snark/

I think were waiting on the Quantum Computers to tell us how to perfect the carbon nano tube computers so we can build the Quantum - Nano-tubed--fiber computers of the past!

A Bi-Bio-engineered MR Peabody has taken us way back so we could see this future coming ... A Dog and his boy Sherman shall lead us! That's the thing about tomorrow...the past is always just around the corner! What danger is there in bringing Comic book exasperation to life?

Will we all be hero's once we are armed as such? Is the New Age ever any different from the Old age....So... we all know what to expect ...right? ":O}
