16-06-2009 - ScienceDaily (June 16, 2009) — Move over, silicon—it may be time to give the Valley a new name. Physicists at the Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have confirmed the existence of a type of material that could one day provide dramatically faster, more efficient computer chips.

Recently-predicted and much-sought, the material allows electrons on its surface to travel with no loss of energy at room temperatures and can be fabricated using existing semiconductor technologies. Such material could provide a leap in microchip speeds, and even become the bedrock of an entirely new kind of computing industry based on spintronics, the next evolution of electronics.
rudiev: Hee, deze had ik ingestuurd, niet 'gast'. Gezien de twee gequotete alinea's lijkt het erop dat het mij inzending was. Of was 'gast' er eerder mee? :S

uit artikel:

As a dramatic consequence, electrons flow without resistance. Put a voltage on a topological insulator, and this special spin current will flow without heating the material or dissipating.

Eletronica die geen warmte meer afgeeft, dat zou mooi zijn!
je mag me beledigen, je mag me kwetsen, maar spreek wat je denkt, dan discussieren we verder...
