Quantum effect transistor is the world’s smallest

Moore’s law of increasing computer power has been pretty consistant so far, but we’re now running into the problem that we just can’t build transistors any smaller or put them any closer together without having them short out. There’s been a number of proposed solutions to this bottleneck, including stacking transistors vertically, but as it turns out, we can make them smaller. You just have to go to the quantum scale and you can make semiconductors as small as two nanometers.
