Physicists Create a Working Transistor From a Single Atom

Posted by samzenpus on from the tiny-hardware dept.

stupendou writes "Australian and American physicists have built a working transistor from a single phosphorus atom embedded in a silicon crystal. The group of physicists, based at the University of New South Wales and Purdue University, said they had laid the groundwork for a futuristic quantum computer that might one day function in a nanoscale world and would be orders of magnitude smaller and quicker than today's silicon-based machines."

    You two are really obsessed with each other.. you should really get a room.

    I know what you're thinking: that's stupid.. we're both guys, and I'm not gay.

    You're confused about your sexuality, and you're feelings for each other. You're concerned about your repressed latent homosexuality.

    But this 2012, and most people are ok with other peoples sexual orientation.

    So please, will you two just hook up already? The rest of us are getting tired of this BS.
