lBM makes the tiniestcomputer part ever.IBM造出有史以来最小的计算机零件。 [参考译文]即便最乐观的半导体研究者都说,以硅为原料的计算机芯片或许最多还能存在15年左右。此后,要在这些晶片上再加进任何电路都是不可能的了:因为晶片越来越小,晶片驱动的计算机也越来越小,越来越智能化。因此,科学家决心研究出如何用其他材料制造复杂的微处理器。8月份,IBM取得重大突破。该公司托马斯·沃森研究中心的物理学家造出全世界第一个以纳米管(一个长长的碳分
lBM makes the tiniestcomputer part ever.IBM creates the smallest computer part ever. [Edit] Even the most optimistic semiconductor researchers say that silicon - based computer chips may last up to 15 years or so. Since then it has been impossible to add any circuits to these chips: as the chips get smaller and smaller, the chip-driven computers get smaller and smarter. As a result, scientists are determined to work out how to make complex microprocessors from other materials. In August, IBM made a major breakthrough. The physicist at the company’s Thomas Watson Research Center created the world’s first nanotube (a long carbon
