3-D Flexible Computer Chips 85

Roland Piquepaille writes "Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have isolated a single-crystal film of semiconductor from the substrate on which it is built. Then they transferred this very thin film — 200 nanometers thick — on plastic. Both sides of the film can host active components and several layers can be stacked, opening the way to very powerful 3-D flexible computer chips. Besides computer chips, this technique could be used for solar cells, smart cards, RFID tags or active-matrix flat panel displays."

So one could possibly make the registers have a "Z" axis and have "real" 3-D address space. Just a thought...

So does that mean we geeks will finally start wearing $1000.00 clothing just like supermodels? (albeit clothing that runs at dual clock speeds of 6.5Ghz ...)

You're going to look awfully silly walking around wearing nothing but one shoe.

No no no, you're all wrong! It means we're going to see an uprising of nerds who have committed suicide after someone decided to wash their $3K gaming rigs, thinking they were just Levi's jeans!
