Scientists at Japan’s NTT Corp. have designed and fabricated silicon transistors that are controlled by the flow of individual electrons.

The amount of energy required to move a single electron increases significantly. That, scientists said, makes it possible to control individual electron motion and current flow…

Low power transistor logic my be ready for an update. Want to see exactly what’s going on? Check out this close up!

This colorized micrograph shows three tunable gates across an electrical channel in a single electron tunneling (SET) transistor.
