China Just Made the World's Fastest Transistor and It Is Not Made of Silicon
(The Dartmouth AI conference will be celebrating its 70th anniversary next year and it may be on the verge of completing the summer project. Of course, there were hardware innovations after that, including the transistor and laser in the late 1950s. Obviously, other applications were found in the meantime. On the other hand, quantum comms has been barreling along for some since the 80s.)
