From Cleo Abram.

Did you know your phone has around 10 BILLION electrical switches inside it? They’re each 10,000 times smaller than a human hair. They’re transistors, basically an on and off switch, generating what we call 1s and 0s. Those billions of 1s and 0s then get translated into the data we see on our screens.

Over time, we’ve made transistors SO much smaller, allowing us to fit more in the same space, making our devices WAY more powerful. But we’re reaching a limit with the tech we use today… so researchers are working on new ideas…
