This new transistor is made from Graphene, a form of graphite, and is currently the worlds smallest transistor; only 1 atom thick.
With technology, especially processor dyes, reaching for smaller and smaller dimensions for compact and faster devices, this is a possible marvel in the gadget world.
AMD and Intel are always trying to get the physical dye size smaller and more compact. There are several 65 nm (nanometer) dyes out there and some companies have even started going to a 45 nm dye.
The smaller the dye, the smaller the overall end device can be. This leads to more powerful cell phones and PDAs.
