Are there any operating systems written in Java?

If yes, are there any computer chips on which it(they) could run?

Thanks,

I dont think there are any decent Operating Systems out there that are
written in Java, pretty much everything is written in C/C++ due to the
fact that C/C++ are much faster than Java.

Ask Google or any other search engine for
java operating system
I got several results...

The JavaCard platform was already mentioned in this thread. Additionally I
want to add that there will be (in the near future) smart cards that do run
internally with J2ME.
