'Perfect' single-atom transistor brings quantum computer closer to reality
Physicists have created a working transistor consisting of a single atom placed precisely in a silicon crystal, making a remarkable feat in micro-engineering.
The tiny electronic device uses as its active component an individual phosphorus atom patterned between atomic-scale electrodes and electrostatic control gates.
This unprecedented atomic accuracy may yield the elementary building block for
