Acid-F1ux writes: "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." We posted a slightly more general article about nanotransistors recently, too; this one concentrates on the Cornell researchers.
