I'm amazed at how small transistors have gotten. It's incredible to think that they're now approaching the limits of physics.

Those beams of UV light need to be reflected and foxused by incredibly precise mirrors, which are made by the company ZEISS in Germany. To give you an idea how precise these mirrors are: If you'd enlarge them to the size of all of Germany, the largest imperfection on that huge mirror would be less than a single millimeter tall.

It would be a shame if we can’t have computers with Moore processing power.
@saukash
So, basically, we're all just waiting for someone to invent a chip that runs on vibes and good intentions, right?
@mateuszcielas3362
tbh its magic to me how some processors and transistors are basically just copper pathways and can do all that complex stuff, like dude, its just copper and some electrons
@DoctorX17
One thing we can focus on is optimization of how we use computing resources. In the early days, OS and application developers often had to work hard to constrain their programs to not overfill the limited computing resources. As we've gotten more and more power, a lot of programs have gotten really bloated; they use way more resources than necessary just because those resources are there. If we minimize resource consumption of applications, we can get a lot more bang for our buck from what processing we do create. Plus we could have longer support of older things -- think of how many devices are just in a landfill simply because the manufacturer decided not to write new code for it. 10+ year old hardware may not be as fast, but with the right software, can still be useful
@MarinusMakesStuff
I often see that developers don't write efficient code. If we put more effort into making more efficient programs, OSes and writing more efficient code, we can also lower the power consumption considerably. As an example think about improving Windows 12 and making it 25% more energy efficient compared to Windows 11. That would have a substantial cumulative energy saving worldwide.

Beautiful artwork. 10/10

I am soooooo distracted by how good the visual is!!

As an electrical engineering undergraduate, I really fall in love with the involved intricacies of the semiconductor industry development. When I learned what ASML and TSMC are doing back in college, they being in the very frontier of this industry, I know that I want to be part of it. It also helps me to really appreciate daily things we take for granted now like smartphone that I used to write this comment, knowing that the internals of it are the results of the collective efforts and sweat & tears of many current and past engineers and scientists who dedicated themselves to this field ❤

I don't recommend using a metal spatula on on a cpu, to avoid scratching or cracking it I generally use a rubber spatula like you would on a non stick pan.
@FooMaster15
The art and animation is fantastic, wow. Excellent writing and research too. Ted Ed never disappoints.
@tommyle628
As a chip designer myself for 10 years, a video related to my work has finally been published on TED! Our daily challenges are solving the most, if not the hardest problem of this century.
@Summariesforeverybody
This video shows a very important lesson. Perpetual growth is impossible.
@sapphyrus
It's incredible how the most cutting edge human technology today is stone-etching like it was thousands of years ago but on a vastly smaller scale!
@ZaxorVonSkyler
I love the art in this video!
@AkshayKumarX
The creative direction and stylistic choices here are top notch, kudos to the team who worked on this video.
@realTOBLERUNO
A new ted-ed Video is exactly what i Need now. Thank You ❤
@SafirAksel
One of the best written and animated TED-Ed video I've ever seen, especially that last line "Whatever the answer is, we make the laws, so the future is up to us."
