Researchers at Stanford University built a computer this week that would disappoint most of us. No Angry Birds, no Netflix. The computer’s operating system really only let’s it do two things: count and sort numbers into different columns. But this tiny, basic computer could be the start of a revolution in technology, because the chip wasn’t made with the usual semi-conductor ingredient, silicon. Instead, this little gadget was made with carbon nanotubes.
