IBM Develops Self-Organizing DNA Micro Chips

Scientists at IBM Research today announced a new breakthrough advancement in the semiconductor industry which will allow manufactures to pack more power and speed into chips while at the same time making them much more energy efficient and less expensive to manufacture. In today's world the semiconductor industry, the one that creates chips for computers and electronics, is faced with a challenge of developing chips smaller than 22nm (nanometers) and exploring new classes of transistors that employ carbon nanotubes or silicon nanowires. BMs approach of using DNA molecules as scaffolding -- where millions of carbon nanotubes could be deposited and self-assembled into precise patterns by sticking to the DNA molecules may provide a way to reach sub-22 nm lithography.
