Abstract: If electronic devices are to be shrunk from the current micrometre length scale all the way down to the single-atom or molecule scale, we need to know how such tiny constructions will behave. Electrical measurements have now been made on the smallest electronic components possible — single metal atoms. They show that the conductivity depends on the number of valence electrons available in each atom.
