Scientists at
Cambridge Universil
UK, have announced
prc _
developing "single
electron logict
to herald in chips
with data-processing capacity of
1,000 PCs.
The principle behind
this logicl
that small and
precise numbers
electrons can be
controllt
form numerous
information pri
cessing functions.
It builds on wo
on "single electron
memory"
tified by Cambridge
scienti Js
1993, which showed
that one bit
information could be
stored byl
single electron.
That single-electroM
devices could be
made from silicoFM
most widely used in
semicondut
tors, enhances the
corin I
potential of the
invention.
