A related article suggests that carbon nanotubes are the best current candidate to replace silicon
in computer chips. IBM is doing research in this area.

Anyone else heard of different replacement candidates? Allen?

Bahahahahaha!
*ahem* Signed int, I take it?
Does that explain why Intel can't build a chip today faster then 4 GHz?
Intel is running into the physical limits of silicon. Moore's
Law is screeching to a halt.
To get significantly faster computers we will need a fundamentally
different approach. It is not a coincidence that the silicon
industry is financially depressed.
