Exponentials never last forever. Sooner or later, silicon transistors are going to stop getting smaller, if only because it's tough to make one with less than an atom of silicon in it. The reality is that conventional silicon transistors will stop shrinking sometime before that happens. But how much sooner?
Lithium still rules in battery design but nano and biotechnologies could massively improve on what we have. E&T examines.
