00:47 A metadevice for quicker electronics
In the earlier, expanding the speeds of electronics required coming up with scaled-down parts, but more reductions in size are becoming hampered by escalating resistance. To get around this, scientists have demonstrated a ‘metadevice’, which helps prevent resistance constructing up by concentrating the circulation of indicators into certain areas of the machine. The hope is that this meta-technique could be utilised to build even lesser electrical elements in the foreseeable future.
