Meindl revealed that since 1960, the productivity of microchip technology has increased by 1 billion times. Meindl is a local resident and a known pioneer and leading expert in nanoelectronics.
Meindl said the future of nanoelectronics is in 3D Systems, and he also spoke of future technologies including the use of Graphene for its excellence in “electrical, mechanical and thermal performance.”
