London, Oct 16 : In a breakthrough study, European physicists have developed a unique computer circuit that can build itself - a development that can lead to self-assembling computers.
A team of European physicists has developed an integrated circuit that can build itself. The work, appearing in this week''s Nature1, is an important step towards its ultimate goal - a self-assembling computer.
Currently, computer chips are made by etching patterns onto semiconducting wafers using a combination of light and photosensitive chemicals.
