DownloadThis is a computer chip, magnified 500 times.
What you’re looking at is the top of a computing city,
with distinct neighborhoods for different functions.
They’re linked by up to 100 kilometers of ultra-thin copper lines,
running across 10 or more stacked levels.
At the very bottom, billions of electronic devices
generate the digital traffic that pulses across the chip.
The most common of these devices is called a transistor;
it’s a switch that allows current to flow if it receives a voltage.
