Digital world poised for a revolutionary, energy-saving pivot. Germanium, resurrected from 1950s, sets a record charge mobility in a new germanium-silicon material. Scientists engineer this strained nanolayer, pointing toward quantum chips already promises to run faster, slash power consumption.
Record-setting charge mobility in germanium-silicon material points to energy-saving quantum chips
Most modern semiconductors are fabricated of or on silicon (Si), but as devices get smaller and denser, they dissipate more power and, as a result, are reaching their physical limits. Germanium (Ge)—once used in the first transistors of the 1950s—is now making a comeback as researchers find new ways to harness its superior properties while keeping the benefits of silicon's established manufacturing technologies.

The Federal Reserve is best understood not as an administrative agency but as a federal corporation—and thus outside of Trump’s control over the executive branch.
