http://www.eetimes.com/at/news/OEG20020625S0043 Cornell demos single-atom transistor R. Colin Johnson ITHACA, N.Y. — Using a single cobalt atom as a switch, a research team at Cornell University has demonstrated a working transistor only 1.3 nanometers in length. Silicon transistors today are generally more than 100 nm long. The researchers wrapped an organic alkyl chain around a single cobalt atom, lodged it in a minute fracture in a gold wire, then observed a series of step voltage increases indicating transistor behavior....
