Subject: Moore's Law
Interesting article on the history of microchip production. The evolution of manufacturing technology and how miniaturization is approaching the limits allowed by physics.

We are certainly not yet done with Moore's law. Although 2 nm is barely the width of 10 silicon atoms, remember the transistors in 2 nm chips aren't actually that small; the distance from one gate to another is nearer to 50 nm (the so-called 'gate pitch') so there is a bit more room to play with.
