How cool..."Pitt researchers have demonstrated a microscopy technique that allows the movement of the plasmons to be seen for the first time, at a resolution a trillion times better than conventional techniques."
The article states that electrons that carry signals moving through the "miles" of wires in semiconductor chips collide with each other quite frequently, and create too much heat, but sending signals through 'plasmons' will significantly reduce the heat and would significantly increase the speed of the new 'plasmon' chips.
