当目前的半导体技术开始遭遇小型化瓶颈之际,两个美国研究小组研制出了新型材料,它们可能为制造更小、更快、更强大的电子产品铺平道路。一个研究小组研制出了新型微型晶体管(计算机芯片的基础材料),它们的体积仅为现有高级硅芯片所使用的晶体管体积的小部分。另一个研究小组制 As current semiconductor technologies begin to suffer from miniaturization bottlenecks, two U.S. research groups have developed new materials that may pave the way for smaller, faster, and more powerful electronics. A team of researchers has developed new miniature transistors (the foundations of computer chips) whose volume is only a fraction of the volume of transistors used in existing advanced silicon chips. Another research team
