The seeds of Supercomputing are sown with development of the IBM Stretch--an early attempt to make a quantum leap in computing power. Computing research begins to benefit from computational research. Modeling of ferrous magnetic alloys leads to greater core memory density. The ion-channeling effect, one of the first materials physics discoveries made using computers, is key to the ion implantation used by current chip manufacturers to "draw" transistors with boron atoms inside blocks of silicon.
