Smallest. Transistor. Ever.

Research breaks major electric log splitters and 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.

Unbelievable. I'm guessing in a few decades nano-technology will be in people's everyday lives. Maybe sooner?
