Using seaweed to 3D-print buildings. AI companies are staring down the laws of economics. Why investors should pay attention to nature.

IBM Says It Can Fit Nearly 100 Billion Transistors On a Chip

IBM has unveiled "what it says is the world's first sub-1-nanometer chip technology," reports ZDNet, "designed to pack nearly 100 billion transistors on a fingernail-size die, roughly doubling the density of IBM's earlier 2-nm test chip, first shown in 2021... Today, the smallest, most powerful chips top out at about 80 billion transistors." At the heart of the announcement is NanoStack. This is a three-dimensional, nanosheet-based transistor de…

IBM debuts ‘world’s first’ sub-1 nanometer chip technology

IBM’s new sub-1 nm chip packs nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail, nearly twice the density of IBM’s 2 nm chip, unveiled in 2021.

IBM Sub-1 Nanometer Chip Stacks Transistors in 3D for AI

IBM announced the world’s first sub-1 nanometer chip technology on June 25, 2026, built on a new transistor architecture the company calls nanostack. The 0.7-nanometer node, also referred to as 7 angstroms, packs nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail and represents a fundamental shift in how semiconductors are designed. Instead of continuing to shrink transistors laterally, IBM’s approach stacks them vertically in t…
