Abstract: At the current rate of miniaturization, metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) — the basic unit of modern computers — will run against fundamental limitations around the year 2015. A way around this limit might be found in a new type of field-effect transistor, called a single-electron transistor (SET), which takes advantage of quantum-mechanical effects. But only now has a SET been made that works at room temperature.
