Imagine if silicon chips were smaller than a grain of sand and could be made using a laser printer: everything under the Sun could be made unobtrusively smart. But that's not science fiction, and you don't have to imagine too hard — because researchers at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Centre have already done it. Read More >>

Reuters is reporting that Intel has been in rather unlikely discussions that could end up having the processor giant produce chips to Apple's specifications, allowing Apple to ditch Samsung. Read More >>

Manufactured by Freescale, this chunk of silicon claims to be the world's smallest ARM-powered chip. Measuring just 2 x 2 x 0.5 millimetres, it's so small that it will likely end up inside... you. Read More >>

A big pot of Europe's money is being channeled in the direction of miraculous super future material graphene, with an enormous €1billion grant about to fund a decade of development work into new uses for the ingenious carbon product. Read More >>

Intel has announced that its next generation of smaller, more efficient mobile processors will be ready for "high volume manufacturing in 2013." Read More >>

While it might sound like a dumb idea, designing a computer processor that can make mistakes could be a good thing—especially where energy use is a concern. Read More >>

One day, Moore's Law will no longer hold true. This rule says computer power doubles every 18 months. But just how will it break down? And when? In the video above, theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explains that it will fall apart in about a decade, and tells just what might happen. Read More >>

Silicon is great. Our computers wouldn't work without it. But it's nearing the limits of what it can achieve — which is where molybdenite, the new kid on the chip, can take over to provide smaller, more efficient processors. Read More >>
