That's an important step because miniaturization of transistor was reaching its limits. However it's a bit insulting for these scientists to say they "cracked the secret of a computer" as if it was something that already existed.

And one transistor in a lab is far from being a computer. You first have to link together millions of these transistors, then make the whole operation commercially viable.

In other words: don't hold your breath. It's not going to be in your laptop any time soon.

If I get one of these billion times faster computers will it make my Thai internet international download speed faster?

What is the point? The bottleneck is always outside the PC.

Thanks for an interesting article, Ozemade. Were only Feynman around to see it.

Invented in Australia....made in China or USA....

nothing will ever change in that country. too gutless...no venture capital
