Is it used as an adjective or object?

Moore’s Law goes biotech.

I just came across this title on this link : https://www.eetimes.com/moores-law-goes-biotech/

It looks like biotech is used as an adjective like in this pattern "go mad, go crazy", so I think biotech is the outcome of Moore's Law, but could biotech be analyzed as an object of the verb "goes" in the sentence?

No, not object. The adjective "biotech" is PC (predicative complement) of "goes". The PC relates to the subject "Moore's Law".

  • No, not object.
  • The adjective "biotech" is PC (predicative complement) of "goes".

  • I agree that it's the same pattern as is found in Your dad will go mad if he catches you smoking ; Kim went crazy when she heard the news ; John goes nuts when he's been drinking .
