Nanomagnets Could Replace Transistors in Microprocessors 91
redwolfe7707 writes "Computers today move electrons, using lots of energy in the process. A new report out of UC Berkeley shows that doing computing with nano magnetic domains could reduce the energy consumption by a factor of a million."
As usual, the factor of a million would be in the ideal case and is close to the minimum permitted by the universe.

I think if you came out with technology using one million times less energy, all of that would be true, no? Hell, even a factor of 100 or 1000 I should think would be a rather huge gain.
Bring on the 5v supercomputer!
Fucking Nanomagnets. (Score:2, Insightful)
How do they work?
