Smallest. Transistor. Ever. (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161006140546.htm)
Research breaks major barrier in transistor size by creating gate only 1 nanometer long
Engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. Now, a team of researchers has succeeded in creating a transistor with a working 1-nanometer gate. For comparison, a strand of human hair is about 50,000 nanometers thick.
