Dark Side of Matter: Dark Side of Matter Post Eliminating Moore’s Law With Phosphorus Atom Transistor

Scientists are trying to break the boundaries of Moore’s law by taking a phosphorus atom and create a working transistor as the gate to control electrical flow.

Moore’s law describes a long-term trend in the history of computer manufacturing whereby the number of transistors that can be placed in the same amount of space doubles approximately every two years.

The big caveat to this is the requirement the atom must remain at or below 391 degrees Fahrenheit to keep it from migrating out of it’s channel [what ever that means]. Because of this requirement, the test is only a

proof of concept to the ability rather then a proof of concept in manufacturing.

Moore’s law hasn’t been broken yet, but this experiment

shows it eventually will.
