To make smartphones faster and more efficient, transistors must be shrunk down to the size of a few atoms. However, traditional light wavelengths are physically too "fat" to draw circuits that small, threatening to halt the advancement of modern computing entirely.
The tech industry relies on Moore's Law—the expectation that computing power will double every two years while costs decrease. Without unprecedented breakthroughs in ultra-precision manufacturing, the exponential growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing will hit a hard physical wall.
