Super-Small Transistor Created, Artificial Atom Powered By Single ElectronsPittsburgh PA (SPX) Apr 21, 2011 A University of Pittsburgh-led team has created a single-electron transistor that provides a building block for new, more powerful computer memories, advanced electronic materials, and the basic components of quantum computers. The researchers report in Nature Nanotechnology that the transistor's central component-an island only 1.5 nanometers in diameter-operates with the addition of only one or two electrons. That capability would make the transistor important to a range of computational applica ... read more |
