Let's dance with Sorting Algoritms

Have you ever cracked your mind trying to understand sorting algoritms like the one of bubble, insert, shell or some others?? Ok, this is your lucky day to at least have fun watching some videos.

Graphene: Next To Provide 1THz

Imagine that in 6 years or so, chips inside our mobiles (or the devices at that time) will have clock cycles of 1THz (1,000 GHz = 1,000,0000 MHz etc), in other words, enough power to serve half of the request made to Facebook just into our hands, could you??

Few years ago, there have been investigations about the use of graphene as a material for the creation of chips, processors and all kinds of electronic circuits. Until now it was known that this particular material, consisting of a monatomic mesh of carbon atoms, is able to withstand amazing transfer speeds, making it the ideal replacement for silicon.
