The laws of physics have threatened to bring Moore's Law to a grinding halt as transistors are shrunken to the size of a few atoms. However, Intel says it will bring new 45nm chip technology to market in 2007 that will continue to allow it to double the number of transistors on a processor. IBM plans to follow suit with its own solution in 2008.

Scientists are developing tiny magnetic particles called nanodots that are only a few billionth of a meter in diameter. The nanodots are showing promise in decreasing the amount of data storage space by at least one-hundred times what is currently held with hard disk drives. With storage requirements doubling about every year, nanodots may hold the answer to handling increasingly large amounts of digital data.
