Steampunk chip takes the heat
Abstract:
Steampunk, the reimagining of modern day technology through a Victorian perspective, has found an unlikely follower in the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). A DARPA-funded project has reinvented a type of logic gate in the style of Victorian inventor Charles Babbage - not for aesthetic reasons, but because the retro device works at temperatures too high for conventional transistors. It could therefore find uses in, say, jet and rocket engine electronics.
