Silicon Alternatives - Carbon Nanotunes, Quantum Computing, Multicore Computers
Scientists Ponder the Successor to Moore's Law
The National Science Foundation will fund projects that push computing power beyond silicon.
In anticipation of Moore's Law becoming irrelevant in the next 10 to 20 years, the National Science Foundation (NSF) wants funding for research that could lead to a replacement for current silicon technology.
The NSF last week requested US$20 million from the U.S. government for fiscal 2009 to start the "Science and Engineering Beyond Moore's Law" effort, which would fund academic research on technologies, including carbon nanotubes, quantum computing and massively multicore computers, that could improve and replace current transistor technology.
