HTTP:: New Type of Advanced Computer Closer to Reality
--------
Experts at the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) have recently reaffirmed their role as leading experts in the field of electronics. Last summer, they created an integrated circuit capable of working at 1.5 degrees Kelvin above absolute zero. Those temperatures are colder than most places in the Universe, and can only be achieved under very special conditions. Now, the team has announced the creation of an integrated circuit capable of operating at 125 degrees Kelvin, a temperature that can be achieved with commercially available liquid nitrogen. “Our goal is to create efficient devices based on excitons that are operational at room temperature and can replace electronic devices where a high interconnection speed is important. We're still in an early stage of development. Our team has only recently demonstrated the proof of principle for a transistor based on excitons and research is in progress,” UCSD Physics Professor Leonid Butov, who is the leader of th!
e research team at the university, explains. Improving the temperature means that, from now, the circuits will be able to function on a substance that is as cheap per gallon as gasoline. The experts explain that an exciton is a construct made up of an electron and a “hole.” Electrons naturally have a negative char...
