Toward faster transistors: New physical phenomenon could lead to increases in computers' clock speed
In the 1980s and ’90s, competition in the computer industry was all about "clock speed" — how many megahertz, and ultimately gigahertz, a chip could boast. But clock speeds stalled out almost 10 ...
