Nanotech to slash gadget power consumption

Abstract:
If you're fed up with high electricity bills or just worried about your carbon footprint, then how about a technology that raises the possibility of computers and other electronic devices doing their thing on as little as 0.001 per cent of current power consumption levels?

Researchers at Japan's NTT have used nanotechnology to create a semiconductor that can perform computations on just a tiny fraction of the power even the best current devices use.
