Computers 500 times faster!

While researchers of the Harvard university try to demonstrate that nanowire tranistors can reach speeds 4 times higher than the traditional silicone components, the University of Bath takes part in a study which could accelerate from 200 to 500 times the speed of the computers!
This study in 3 years aims at using the technique of Inverse Electron Spin Resonance to transmit electric signals without physical support. This process uses the magnetic field to guide the electrons and to modify their magnetic direction. That creates an oscillation of the electrons, which then start to produce their own energy microwave. This energy can then be used to broadcast electric signals without attenuation due to wires.
Anyway. It's about a wireless communication between small components: the semiconductors.
If this is successful, the Dr Alain Nogaret has good reasons to believe that such computers, based on such semiconductors, could be largely used until 5 to 10 years.
This could bring the Moore's Law back on business...
