Bibek Paudel writes "Researchers at the University of Manchester have built the world's smallest transistor — one atom thick and 10 atoms wide — out of a material that could one day replace silicon. The transistor, essentially an on/off switch, has been made using graphene, a two-dimensional material first discovered only four years ago. Graphene has been hailed as a super material because it has many potential applications. It is a flat molecule, with only the thickness of an atom, and both very stable and robust. Graphene is a single layer of graphite, which is found in the humble pencil." Link to Original Source
