tringtring writes "In anticipation of Moore's Law becoming irrelevant in the next 10 to 20 years, the National Science Foundation (NSF) wants funding for research that could lead to a replacement for current silicon technology. The NSF last week requested US$20 million from the U.S. government for fiscal 2009 to start the "Science and Engineering Beyond Moore's Law" effort, which would fund academic research on technologies, including carbon nanotubes, quantum computing (which seems to be doing quite well in the funding scene ) and massively multicore computers (which is resulting in other folks intensifying the hunt for parallel programming) , that could improve and replace current transistor technology (which is not exactly stagnant either)"
