IBM Uses DNA Origami to Build Tiny Chips
An IBM news
release describes the results of their research into using DNA
origami structures, combining traditional lithographic patterning with
self-assembling molecules, to produce chips smaller than now possible
with state of the art 22nm lithography. The little DNA-bots can act as
scaffolding for precise assembly of new types of transistors that employ
carbon nanotubes, carbon nanowires, and silicon nanowires. It is hoped
this new technology will allow computers (and robots) to keep pace with
Moore's Law, continuing to become smaller and faster.
