NEWSFLASH ~ The end of Moores law has been reached/scientists create wire one atom tall and four atoms wide

A wire that is just four atoms wide and one atom tall, yet works just as well as the ordinary copper wires running behind your wall, was recently created by an international team of scientists.

[...]Both concepts of tiny computers, though, won't get any smaller than the atomic scale, Klimeck added. "You have to have atomic wires that get down to the atomic scale to get the information in and out."

The wire they created "is the end of Moore's Law," he said. "You are not going to make a wire smaller than that."
