i seem to recall something about some carbon technology recently that is supposedly the next big revolution in semiconductors, and might revive Moore's Law? I wanna say it was about how carbon nanotubes can be used as an excellent semiconductoer, and because their width is at the atomic scale, they can result in even smaller transistors.

or something to that effect. Not sure where I read it tho. Maybe on here

There was a thing here recently about carbon nanotube transistors. I also watched a video on youtube where they showed briefly how it works, it was very interesting. Essentially very very very small mechanical switches!
