What this marriage will mean, in the short term, is technological advances that will help make traditional computer chips even smaller. In the longer term it will mean simple memory chips and logic devices at the nanoscale and, perhaps decades ahead, even a nanocomputer that will assemble itself and have tiny transistors (the on and off switches that form the foundation of a modern computers) only a few nanometers wide.
