An article published in the journal “Nature” describes the creation of a new architecture for next-generation computers. A Stanford University and MIT team led by Max Shulaker, assistant professor at MIT, used experimental technologies such as carbon nanotubes and RRAM to create a prototype of a 3D chip that combines current computers’ CPU and RAM much faster in processing data and at the same time with a much lower power consumption.
