Moore’s Law dictates that computer processing power doubles approximately every 18 months. At some point in the next few years silicon transistors, which are made smaller each year to increase their processing power, will face a physical barrier. The next generation of processors will need to be made of carbon nanotubes or use quantum computing [...]
