Faster, smaller, greener computers, with the processing power of over 1000 current computers. This technology can me made possible with new Phase Changing Materials!
The current silicon based microchips would be replaced with 'Phase-change materials' (PCMs). PCMs are capable of switching between different electrical states. One state is a crystalline conductor while the other a glassy insulator. It does this in under a Billionth of a second through small electrical shocks!
The difference between silicon based chips and PCMs is where logical operations and memory is located. In silicon based chips memory and operations are located separately while in the PCM chips they are located in the same spot. This means that Dynamic Random Access Memory can eventually be removed!
