THE FUTURE IS HERE

Microelectronics for the 21st century – Part Six: What’s the future of microelectronics?

Ultrasmall electronic components process information in all smart electronics.

Today, they touch our lives in the form of computers, cell phones, smart TVs, global positioning systems and more. But microelectronics are at a crossroads. The total energy devoted to all the microelectronics will soon reach staggering proportions.

Argonne National Laboratory is pursuing new pathways to materials and devices that will lead to more energy-efficient and environment-friendly microelectronics for the 21st century.

In this video, Argonne’s Valerie Taylor discusses the performance, energy efficiency, and environmental impact of microelectronics in the coming decades.
