Researchers at IBM have developed a new way to make computer chips, a way that will very likely extend Moore's Law (the density of computer chips doubles about every two years) for another five years or more. Now a chip can be made that stores 4 billion bits of data. If Moore's Law holds until 2013, then the densest chip will hold 64 billion bits.
A few years ago this achievement would only be remarked on for its technical advance. Today, it is also an advance made by an American company, demonstrating that the mojo is still here. Kudos to IBM!
