Diatoms has silica on their cell wall - a compound related to silicon, which is a key material for constructing computer chips and semiconductors.Sussman\'s team said diatoms could vastly increase chip speed because they are capable of producing lines much smaller than what is capable with current technology. They identified a set of 75 genes involved in producing and laying silica lines and use them for producing lines on computer chips Read the full article |
