Silicon Fish and Plastic Chips

The science of making electronics out of plastic has recently taken a huge leap forward with the creation of the first working computer CPU chip - processor - made entirely from plastic. While it may sound like an un-natural combination electricity and plastic can work and the scientific types at the IMEC nanotechnology centre in Leuven, Belgium have produced a simple demonstration circuit. Plastic chips will drive computing power into every corner of our life, this is the second revolution in computing, where even the cheapest of products can have a computer embedded in it. READ MORE
