More exciting discoveries from IBM in the area of computing (another recent one was shrinking the manufacturing process down to 7nm), and this discovery means the death of silicon transistors for even higher CPU speeds (which have stalled for some time now), by 7X(!) in simulations - http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/02/science/ibm-scientists-find-new-way-to-shrink-transistors.html
BTW, here's also an interesting video of how CPUs are manufactured:
