(Could also be Computer Update)
"Unzipped" carbon nanotubes create "nanoribbons" which could lead to much faster computers:

It seems like they're coming up with more and more configurations for carbon at the nanoscale: buckyballs, nanotubes, nanosheets and now nanoribbons.
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
