This New 'Origami' Microchip Is 100 Times Faster Than Current Ones

Dhir Acharya - Feb 18, 2021

In a new method called “nano-origami,” physicists used graphene along with other 2D materials to make the smallest microchip in the world.

In a new method called “nano-origami,” physicists from the University of Sussex, the UK, used graphene along with other 2D materials to make the smallest microchips in the world.

In this method, they created nano-origami by creaking kinks in nanomaterials like graphene, finding that when placed in this format, graphene acts as a tiny microchip. Crinkling the material, the research team discovered a way to reduce the size of the microchip by 100 times compared with the existing ones.

If you are wondering where this discovery can become useful, it’s in computing. Professor Alan Dalton, who worked on this study, said:

“Using these nanomaterials will make our computer chips smaller and faster. It is absolutely critical that this happens as computer manufacturers are now at the limit of what they can do with traditional semiconducting technology.”

“Ultimately, this will make our computers and phones thousands of times faster in the future.”

This type of technology is known as straintronics, where nanomaterials are used in place of electronics. In this study, the method provides more space in devices so more chips can be used. Dalton said that crinkling graphene can speed up everything we do with computers.

The best thing about this discovery is that there’s no need to add more foreign materials to a device to speed it up. Instead, they just have to use this method with nanomaterials, which also results in a faster, greener, more sustainable tech. According to the researchers, the technology does not require more materials and consumes less energy.

Thomas helped me clone my partner’s phone and I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. All I did was share his phone number with Thomas and I was able to read both his new and deleted messages from my phone without having to touch his phone. I’m glad to find out all his secrets with the help of Mr THOMAS. I’m here in the US and able to access my husband’s phone messages with a link on my phone even while he was away in Canada cheating and flirting with his phone. I access and read all his (social media text) Whatsapp, Facebook,Skype,Instagram and Snapchat messages Including the deleted text and incoming messages. You can Text/Call +1 (404) 941-6785 whatsapp +1 (720) 794-1811…. Email: tomcyberghost@gmail.com He is an expert hacker, tested and trusted hacker with 100% guarantee

I hired Mr THOMAS to hack my wife’s phone, it was due to a change in behavior of my wife and she far exceeded my expectations. He helped me get some info such as whatsapp chat, facebook, text messages, call logs and even phone conversations that I needed for proof of her unholy affair. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which she gave me options that could help me to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try other options before hiring him, which shows that he is honest. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic hacker. To all that desire to know the sincere status of your partner. I will encourage you not to hesitate to send him a letter through tomcyberghost@gmail.com if you are facing challenges in your relationship, marriage or having hacking related problems.
