India projected to save $24bn on longest oil glut since 1997

The savings could swell further because even though fears over Greece and Iran continue to weigh on the oil market, there is no sign oil producers will pull back.

At around four times more powerful than today's top-of-the-line technology, it should pave the way for a new generation of super-speedy computers and gadgets in the not-too-distant future.
All this power is made possible by transistors that are just 7 nanometres in size (7 billionths of a metre), created using a special silicon-germanium mixture instead of pure silicon.
