UNSW's Single-Atom Transistor Could Break Moore's Law
Gizmodo AustraliaFebruary 20, 2012
A new transistor, based on a single atom, may go further than helping speed things up: it could shatter Moore's Law. For the uninitiated, Moore's Law simply suggests that the number of transistors that can be placed (inexpensively) on an integrated ...more »
