TL;DR: Andrew Kahng, a professor at the University of California, San Diego, and an expert on high-performance chip design, says the chip industry has made it a priority to keep up the pace of Moore's Law, ensuring that manufacturers can continue to build and release new product families while using a new process every 18 to 24 months as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The FinFET as discussed by the authors was the first transistor with a gate that completely surrounded the current-carrying channel, and the gate that controls it drapes over the sides.

TL;DR: The resulting computer, its designers say, will be efficient enough to manipulate petabyte-scale data sets in an unprecedented fashion, expanding what companies and scientists can accomplish in areas such as graph theory, predictive analytics, and deep learning in a way that could improve the authors' daily lives.

TL;DR: In this article, a different sort of hunt for those space-time ripples is picking up speed, and a new sort of search for those ripples has been proposed, which is called the search for the Ripples Hunt.
