Huge Triumph at Nano Scales: Ultra-Small, Super Fast Single Electron Transistors Created

A team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, collaborated with another team from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, to create a transistor, which is just an atomic diameter in size and can be switched on and off by just one or two electrons. These transistors can further be used as solid state devices, such as fast quantum processors (which might replace the current Si processors) and extremely dense memory devices.

Lead researcher Prof. Jeremy Levy of University of Pittsburgh further emphasized that these new materials might be used to create  substances like high temperature super-conductors.
