The world's smallest hard drives have already shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, but nanoscale computing may soon make that achievement look elephantine, say some of the stars of information technology.
Moore's Law is alive and well, but Intel is changing its basic semiconductor recipes to make sure that it stays that way.
Advanced Micro Devices has created new high-performance transistors in its labs based on the simple concept that sometimes two are better than one.
Intel will try to further cut power consumption in its next generation of chips by using improved strained silicon, along with transistors that block power to other circuits, and other added features.
Processor powerhouses IBM and Intel are set to reveal their plans to use the "strained silicon" technique to build faster, power-efficient chips--and maybe break free of Moore's Law.

For a man a few months away from leaving his job, Bill Gates has a lot on his mind.
As the Microsoft and Apple execs get ready to share the stage at a conference this week, we look at other times the tech titans have shared the spotlight.
Two writers from ZDNet.com.au's sister site CNET News.com, Michael Kanellos and Declan McCullagh, debate Bill Gates' call for businesses to allocate resources that could alleviate problems in the developing world.
Microsoft's chairman discusses his favourite Vista feature, why he'll keep pushing for a new file system and open source's role.
Researchers at Advanced Micro Devices report significant new design techniques that the company says will lead--eventually--to higher chip performance.
Intel will increase the performance of its microprocessors next year, in part by spreading out its silicon atoms.
Transistors, the building blocks of microprocessors, may have only one place to go in the future according to Intel researchers: up.
The nanotechnology era is here, and Intel is looking at all the options. Penny-sized weather sensors, cheap technology for all -- the future looks bright!
Intel said it has produced chips with the 65-nanometer manufacturing process, a strong sign the company will continue to keep pace with Moore's Law.
