All us excited each time new teams get stronger and more. Only keep tight as teams take the next giant step in a few years. We have seen the team reduce size as the 'microchip' becomes smaller and smaller. Now, scientists know that we can reduce the size of the same tasks up to the size of the single Atom! These are some of the most interesting developments in information technology.
Quantum computers are the future...
The strange world of quantum mechanics does not follow the laws of classical physics at all. A bit quantum (qubit) does not exist in the typical 0 or 1 State binary computers of today - a qubit can exist in either, as well as a mixture of both States. This subtle difference survey is that the reason Quantum transistors will allow a team operate 1,000,000,000 times faster than existing equipment! If you think that a computer running at 4 GHz is fast, try to one running at 40,000 GHz as planned. While there are many obstacles to overcome, new techniques and discoveries are made every day. Many people believe that quantum computers could be a reality within just 5 to 10 years.
Optical photonic and equipment is making progress...
Optical teams take advantage of the speed of light rather than speed of electricity, which makes them a good choice for data transmission. Electricity only flows in about 1/10 the speed of light, but optical or Photonic transistors should be able to operate thousands of times faster than current computers. Already, fiber optic cables are common, but optics soon will be used for switches teams. Individual photons can be directed to create the switch off/on used in transistors. But, unlike electricity, light rays can travel "each other, eliminating the need for bulky cabling paths conventional. This will enable the optical equipment be as small as necessary for any application.
Nanodot storage could be the new hard disk storage...
A nanodot may be 50 nanometers in width and have their North and South poles as a magnet. You can respond to external changes, what makes it a leading candidate for storage. Current research shows that a unit nanodot could contain more than 100 times the capacity of current hard disk into a space much smaller. Nanodot storage isn't too far and they will revolutionize the way in which we look at information storage.
Spintronics - another promising yet rare type of storage...
Current memory has limitations now that manufacturing processes are close to limits on the size of transistors. In addition, RAM (temporary memory storage) team loses information when shuts down the computer. Now that things are level quantum, emerging new possibilities. A field called 'Spintronics', measures the 'twist' of an electron. Better still, even when the computer is off, not the information is lost. Spintronic memory works with a few atoms, probably on a surface created by manufacture of ingaas (Indian gallium arsenide), a new promising material.
Carbon nanotubes and Graphene instead of silicon chips...
Today's computer chips, sit on a silicon wafer, but the future team may use nanotubes fabrication or manufacture of Graphene instead. A sheet of Graphene is only one atom thick, and a nanotube is a 'summary' sheet of Graphene with a nanometer in diameter. These are considered the future of manufacturing transistor because these structures have excellent properties as efficient heat, good strength and electrical conduction properties, also can be used for many other types of materials, as well.
Going ballistic - divert electrons as a game of pinball...
The ballistic transistor deviation bounces around atoms to create a new type of transistor equipment. This atomic transistor can operate at speeds of terahertz, more than a thousand times faster that the team today, suggested by a Rochester team, develop the technology. Computer technology BDT chips would be easy to make and it could only be the next wave of computer technology.
While not complete, these are some of the upcoming trends of the future team. It may sound like distant dreams, but they are real, they are all developed and it will be in the warehouse of the team before what he imagined.
