Summary<\/p>\n
You reached the end of the content unit about nano in electronics<\/strong>. As there was a lot to learn, please receive a quick repetition of the most important things you learnt about this topic:<\/p>\n Computers are basically built from several \u201cchips\u201d, which are also called \u201cintegrated circuits\u201d. The key elements of those chips are \u201ctransistors\u201d. A computer breaks every problem down to the degree, where he just must handle 1s and 0s. Those 1s and 0s are expressed by flowing current (1) or not (0) in the transistors.<\/p>\n In the recent history, the storage capacity and speed of computers has evolved extremely fast. Gordon Moore predicted this phenomenon already in the 1965. He even quantified the increase by saying, that every two years the number of transistors on a chip and therefore the capacity will double. Till today he was right with his predictions.<\/p>\n The development of smaller structures is highly connected to nanotechnology. The fact that Moore’s Law is still valid today is due to great technological efforts, especially in the field of nanotechnology.<\/p>\n Nanotechnology is used to keep the computer systems very small even with more and more functionalities. With your smartphone, you can have a very fast and highly functional computer in your pocket, enabling you to watch high resolution movies, communicate anytime and anywhere, play games, and other things that former generations maybe would not have imagined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vibebp_attr":"","_vibebp_dimensions":"","_vibebp_responsive_height":"","_vibebp_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"module-tag":[],"class_list":["post-1800","unit","type-unit","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/unit\/1800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/unit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/unit"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1800"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/unit\/1800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1841,"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/unit\/1800\/revisions\/1841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"module-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lms.nanoproject.eu\/lms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/module-tag?post=1800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
