Intel Experimenting With Nanotubes 85
illeism writes "C|Net is reporting on Intel's experimentation with nanotubes in processors. From the article: 'The chip giant has managed to create prototype interconnects — microscopic metallic wires inside of chips that link transistors ... Carbon nanotubes ... conduct electricity far better than metals. In fact, nanotubes exhibit what's called ballistic conductivity, which means that electrons are not scattered or impeded by obstacles.'"

Truly, Ted is a technology genius. It's only a matter of time before these "nano tubes" are implemented to speed delivery of Internet content.

I can't believe the grandparent was modded insightful. Who'da thought Stevens reads Slashdot and had mod points?

|People will conduct electricity (otherwise the electric chair wouldn't work), does that mean that people are made out of metal?
And if they float, they are witches! BUUURN..... er ahem.... carry on.
