Comment Crocheted Superchips (Score 1) 101

There is a theoretical superconductor that is a long n-alkane-like hydrocarbon chain with regularly spaced halogen molecules outboard to the backbone. The theoretical stats were impressive, something like superconductivity to 200 degrees C. The problem was forming the molecules long enough to be useful and then orienting them. The way the article makes this sound the STM should be able to do a "knit-one-perl-two" with chlorinated waxes in no time...

With this type of STM approach it may be possible to "crochet" superchips. It would be nice to have chips rated in de Broglie wavelengths as opposed to something as paltry as GHz.
