Hey there folks interested in computer technology and the new innovations that will finally get around the physical limitations of silicone itself. This presentation is brought to us by the lovely semi-conductor engineer Anastasi in Tech (Anastasiia Nosova)
. These videos of hers are always a great watch because she presents actual videos of semi-conductor and chip manufacturing processes, micro and nano imaging of the very tiny transistors that exist in the millions to billions on hardware as well as simpler illustrative graphics to better understand the underlying technology that is being referred to.
In this particular episode, she opens with how industry has been trying to replace silicone for sixty years and now today that such a material only a few atoms thick is showing much promise. She will explain the microchips now in use, how and why silicone has reaches its physical limits for the computational demands and capabilities we have now reached, and the companies already proceeding forward with these discoveries. Its a lot of technical computational jargon, which I adore but can hardly ever remember to write it out in a summary. The kicker is this is being characterized as 2D! WTF? She cites that some studies show a 1000x reduction in power consumption of transistors.
Wild stuff, these videos are just amazing to watch solely for the images and video clips of manufacturing process of chips and semi-conductors. However this is not rolling out tomorrow, decade+ timeline before it is normalized. The secret ingredient is ..... Molybdenum disulfide. Anyways, enjoy the presentation!
