Could that power even be possible with chips made out of silicon? I don't think they can shrink the process nearly enough. It would need another material, which could mean who knows how many additional years of development before the breakthrough is done.

What's that other material they are trying to experiment on right now and which would allow transistors as thin as a couple of atoms? Graphite?
