“This is a general computer and we can do anything with it,” Max Shulaker, a Stanford graduate student who worked on the program, told the New York Times. “We could in principle run 64-bit Windows, but it would take millions of years.”
Despite its slow speed, Stanford’s carbon nanotube computer is a fantastic proof of concept for the next generation of computers."
I think this will take a lot of time and research but an indication that anything can come out at anytime. The sooner we get a deal the better.
Some perspective......at 22nanometers you could put 4000 transistors accross a human hair....now that's the kind of stuff they are working with
