> Microelectronics manufacturing has been driven for the past 60 years by Moore’s law, which states that the density of transistors on a chip should double every two years. The electronics industry has adopted this principle as a production goal to increase the power and efficiency of computer processors. It has proven successful and steady for decades, but there are signs that the trend is starting to stall.
"Signs it's starting to stall"? Moore's 'law' has been dead for a decade at minimum at the literal interpretation, and for over two decades if observable performance is what you actually cared to measure. What does this even have to do with the research the article is about? It's not clear to me why the author felt the need to shoehorn this into the headline.
