It is : almost certainly doomed to remain a niche technology funded by organizations : that don't care how much of your money they spend for their fun. Hm, indium phosphide I once heard that mentioned by Cray (yes that Cray), but I never heard of nanotechnology rod logic. Is it real or is it a joke of some kind? Does anyone know of anyone working with indium phosphide at least? : Eric S.
