Transforming Biology to design Next-generation computers, using a surprise ingredient

A Purdue University group has found ways of transforming structures that occur naturally in cell membranes to create other architectures, like parallel 1nm-wide line segments, more applicable to computing. 

Researchers turned to biology to help in the design of next-generation computers. Moore’s law – which says the number of components that could be etched onto the surface of silicon wafer would double every two years – has been the subject of recent debate. The quicker pace of computing advancements in the past decade have led some experts to say Moore’s law, the brainchild of Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s, no longer applies...
