Isotopically pure silicon nanowires could lead to smaller and faster microchips

Silicon in modern electronics is cheap, abundant and a good conductor of electricity. It isn't a good conductor of heat, however, and that is a bit of a problem considering excess heat is a natural enemy of electronics. The issue only gets amplified in tiny microchips packing billions of transistors.
