economic prosperity and military superiority, it's not oil; it's
chips. No, not the chips we all love to snack on during movies, but
highly efficient computer chips. Chips that power pretty much
everything from our military machinery to our iPhones. The United
States held the top spot in crafting the fastest chips on Earth for
