Prepare yourself for faster and stronger computing processing power?  EPFL claims to be able to integrate human hair size chips on top of each other to form many layers stack to allow faster and stronger computing processing power.  In a sense, EPFL explains that by shorting the distance among the transistors, 3D chips are able in boosting computing processing power to new height.  Furthermore, they can also integrate different species of chips on top of each other.  The video right after the break goes into more details on how EPFL has accomplished in creating 3D chips.
