For decades, silicon computer chips have upheld Moore|s Law, delivering exponential growth in computing power. But this relentless miniaturization faces physical limits, as components approach the quantum realm. One futuristic idea attempts to mimic biology by using ions instead of electrons to process information.
Researchers have unveiled groundbreaking ultralight super-insulating ceramic fibre materials to feed the urgent industrial need for advanced insulation in harsh environments, which marks a significant step toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future.
