Fabrication of 3D fractal structures

This will probably have metamaterial applications:

The beginnings of molecular circuitry?

maybe, still have the heat problem to deal with but it looks like moore's law will stay valid a lot longer than expected.

[happyjack27]

the heat problem isn't the only impediment to moore's law.
and besides moore's law, there's also the von-nuemann bottleneck.

Did not the new Silicon-Carbide base material make a big leap for heat management?

[paperburn1]

I think there is some problems with finding materials with similar expansion coefficient to prevent delamination problems. but several solutions are in the works.
