Global Technology – March 2012

Now let’s focus on this month’s most important advances in technology.  We’ll begin with a key breakthrough in information technology. The most fundamental driver of information technology for the past 40+ years has been Moore’s Law.  The most widely accepted definition of Moore’s Law holds that the number of transistors that can be placed on a processor will double every 18 months. Now, an international team of researchers at the University of New South Wales, Purdue University, and the University of Melbourne have built the smallest transistor that can be built.  This device, whic.....
