Hafnium. Framtiden är Hafnium (Intels genombrott i chipmaterial).

Just när man trodde att verkligheten skulle lämna Moore's lag, så kommer Intel med ett nytt isolermaterial, som ska göra att det går att packa halvledare ännu tätare.

Intel’s advance was in part in finding a new insulator composed of an alloy of hafnium, a metallic element that has previously been used in filaments and electrodes and as a neutron absorber in nuclear power plants. They will replace the use of silicon dioxide — essentially the material that window glass is made of, but only several atoms thick.
