Now we are nearing the physical limits of the present technology and, sometime around 2020, will begin a new digital paradigm.

FORBES: The Next Digital Paradigm

As I explained in an earlier post, we are entering a new digital paradigm, where vastly more powerful computers will revolutionize industries ranging from medicine to energy to manufacturing.

Realizing that better processes alone will never overcome these imperfections, the Stanford engineers managed to circumvent the barriers using a unique imperfection-immune design paradigm to produce the first-ever full-wafer-scale digital logic structures that are unaffected by misaligned and mis-positioned CNTs.
