Scientists have come up with a single atom transistor

[Nepthan]

Scientists from the University of New South Wales have created a single-atom transistor using a repeatable technique — a world first...
Single-atom transistors have been created before by chance, but using this method, the team from UNSW can produce them reliably.

Lemme fix that real quick

Wow think of what they could do with more atoms.

I don't know anything about science, what does this mean?

A QUANTUM COMPUTER...





A new type of gaming computer unlike any other....

I was suprised when I saw it said UNSW, they have a really sucky reputation

my facebook page is constantly laced with pictures hating on them



Good on them though

It means Australia taking over the world.

shhh dont say that or the government will get you

it means they made a transistor that is one atom

CPUs are made out of transistors.
Smaller transistors means they can fit more onto one chip
more transistors means faster computer
I'll be rocking blockland with a terra hertz computer someday

Hes going to ask what a transistor is.
