New Delhi, June 26 -- IBM debuted the world's first sub-1 nanometer chip technology, introducing a transistor architecture at the 0.7 nanometer, or 7 angstrom node.

IBM noted that this new chip packs nearly 100 billion transistors into a space the size of a fingernail. This represents nearly twice the transistor density of the company's 2-nanometer chip, which was introduced in 2021.

Microchips play crucial roles in computing, home appliances, communication devices, transportation networks, and critical infrastructure systems.

IBM projects a path to commercial production for the sub-1 nanometer technology within the next five years.

The development relies on structural and material modifications, specifically a three-dimensional nanos...
