New Carbon Technology That Allows Microchips to Heal

Carbon Technology and Self-Healing Microchips

Graphene transfers electricity faster than silicon, and because of its strong carbon bonds, it has the potential to heal itself over time. While this healing process may be slow, it opens up fascinating possibilities for chip longevity.

An Interesting Thought

Here's a speculative concern: could a self-healing chip develop something like "microchip cancer"? Any imperfection in the chip might cause irregular growths that alter response times in the CPU's clock, potentially causing random or corrupted data.
