New transistors 新型晶体管 Mechanical advantage 机械优势 Two new types of transistor may lead to simpler,more efficient computers 两种新型晶体管或许会导致更加便捷高效计算机的出现 WHEN baking a cake it helps to have all the ingredients within reach, 当你在烧烤蛋糕的时候，它有会让所有的一切都变得触手可及， rather than wasting time and energy making frequent trips to the pantry. 而不是让你在食品柜繁琐的开关之间浪费时间与精力。 Something similar is true of the logic circuits in computers microprocessors. 这也同样会真正应用于电脑微处理器中的某些逻辑电路。 These could be made faster, and would consume less energy, if they were able to storeinformation themselves instead of fetching it from separate memory chips or hard drives. 如果这些微处理器自己能够储存一些信息，用来取代从原来相互独立的芯片或手工操作中获得的信息，它们的速度将会变得更快，能耗将会更低。 The problem is that the transistorsused to make logic circuits hold their electronic state, and therefore any data they contain,only when powered up. |
