Star Trek Chips Incoming

Applied Materials preps for 'Angstrom Era' in chipmaking — spearheaded by its new Kinex, Xtera, and PROVision 10 systems

Angstroms are the scale of choice for measuring atoms but, the truth is, our chips already use transistors that are smaller than your average molecule. You can think of electronic chips as all being made of crystals that are anything but exotic if you work in a lab. Electronic crystals are usually vibrated at super high frequencies for electronics, but you can do all sorts of things with crystals, like photonics. This is the next generation lithography machine, which is designed to manipulate individuals atoms in 3D, and is like a carving machine that carves the landscape with so much precision, you can even move individual atoms around, and incorporate more quantum effects.

Everyone has been making chips with a billion flaws on them, designing them to make it easy to just destroy parts of the chip and it will still work, only to discover flaws are what make quantum mechanics work better. Now, they're ready to incorporate flaws that are anything but flaws.

 

Fascinating. But wait, China! AI! Chips!

God must be flawed. That explains Everything! Including that theory.

See we're all living in the Lor universe, where everything is designed with flaws. That's why there's death.

God saw that this universe was good enough that he could take a break on the Seventh day. Problem was he came back after his smoke break only to find humans had fucked things up eating forbidden fruit. Realizing his trust in humans was gone, he said 'fuck this shit planet and universe.'

So he went and created a perfect Data universe and hasn't been back around here since.

Gee, I hope I haven't derailed your thread too much.

 

God has a sense of humor, and married mother nature, which doesn't appeal to the Tea Party or modern science.

 

As we all learned or should've learned many moons ago, it's not nice to fuck with mother nature. You end up with mutant Republican cry babies.

 

Mama Nature always has the last laugh, and I'm helping to automate it.
