No, not the kind you decorate your yard with or use to fuel a camp fire, but biodegradable computer chips made out of cellulose nanofibril (CNF), an eco-friendly material that’s derived almost entirely from wood.

Taking into consideration the rapid advances in technology and subsequent short …read more
