Moore's Law: Will Lack of R&D Funding Kill It?

In the January issue of Solid State Technology, I wrote about life after the "reset" button and how the lack of R&D funding could well bring an end to Moore's Law. That very issue was one of the key "take aways" from last week's ISS. What I heard from a...
