Technology thingy

It's not the newest technology out there, but there is a new way of building processors that will soon, hopefully, replace the current transistor system. It's a molecule that replicates transistor behavior, but because it's so small the size of the entire processor (with the same power as a current high end supercomputer) would be the size of a single bacterium. So you could theoretically hold more processing power in the palm of your hand than all the supercomputers in the world put together. At least, that was the case when I heard about this. Pretty cool.
