“We came up with a material innovation that helps with the amount of memory you can have between chips.”

So it’s like squeezing ADUs onto small suburban lots to solve the “housing crisis”?

That’s the name of the game in computers and electronics in general: faster, smaller, more dense, less power, and the one that I hardly ever hear about any more: less voltage. A silicon semiconductor voltage threshold for ‘switching states’ is approximately 0.7 volts. For Germanium devices it’s 0.3 volts. If the folks at Kepler have come up with a new material, they may have brought the switching voltage down to less than the above.................
