Ultrathin Alternative to Silicon for Future Electronics

It takes a "special" kind of moron, to put so much effort into faster smaller transistors, when the economy is bankrupt, water is polluted, whole damn country is foreign oil dependent, politicians are corrupt, the corpocracy defends ROI over even the flag, and the military has a mind of its own!

Indium is not free in this world! Check out the price and rarity of this stuff before running out to buy shares in this nonesense.

America needs immidiate help in the region of social adjustment, downward from the "Americn Dream" to a sustainable society, not great hulking computational and communications power at all. These are novel and in some very indirect ways useful, but now that the world's riches have shifted Eastward, the U.S. can no longer dwell on these finer points of existing technologies, and leave it to those who have the resources(entire Asian gene pool searched for intelligentia) and the money, even up to a Trillion in U.S. funds, and untold fortunes in Yuan in China.

Communit Chinese government has stated that they will control patent rights on Thorium fueled LFTR reactors they are developing - what do they know, that we don't know, that requires such a drastic announcement? Does it involve the fine points of transistor technologies - I douvt it, Does it have major implications for fueling the 21st century growth in China? That's my best bet! Score: Transistor technology advances 0 Thorium LFTR reactors 1

Two factors of note: U.S. transistor technology advances are corporate driven, with huge ROI pay offs expected. Chinese Thorium fueled LFTR reactor development is part of a communist committee's "Ten Year Plan" and is totally government sponsored.

Americans! So busy stuffing their own pockets, so deeply propagandized in the ways of the corpocracy, they are unable even to see advantage for their national interests, and walked away from proven Thorium fueled LFTR technology in the 70's for lack of military interests, sales to the financier of the project - they had resolved the oil-energy crisis, the foreign oil crisis, the Uranium wastes crisis, and even the dangers of plutonium creation, and they walked away! 'Special' savants, not real geniuses at all! So sad to see a great nation floundering, with the keys to perpetual safe nuclear power in her hands, but so stuck in her War and ROI paradigm, as to not find her way out even to save her own economy, even to save her own soul! Transistors be damned! Time for an American reality check!
