In Case Self-Assembling Machinery Didn’t Scare You Before…
When chipmakers slim down their silicon, they need finer and finer tools to organize all that circuitry. With MIT’s latest self-assembling chips, the detail work is handled by molecular strands that, freakishly, just know where to go. Self-assembling chips aren’t new, but up till now, people have used electron-beam rays to carve grooves where molecules…
