Here’s what those invisible microwaves look like. More »
Stay with me for a second here: Imagine a chip that can transport electrons while controlling the way they are rotating. OK, forget about this. I don’t really know what I’m talking about. They do:
Just the other day we were banging on about graphene, the new “wonder material” based on graphite, and now a British team has used it to craft the world’s smallest transistor. It’s just one atom deep and ten wide, and we don’t need to tell you that that’s teeny. In fact, it’s more than three times smaller than the 32nm transistors at the cutting edge of silicon-based microelectronics: so it looks like Gordon Moore’s law of transistor shrinkage has a bit of life in it yet.
