Smallest transistor created by China. ONE ATOM THICK

These Transistor Gates Are Just One Carbon Atom Thick

Scientists in China have created a transistor using graphene and molybdenum disulfide with a gate length of just 0.34 nanometers. "We have realized the world's smallest gate-length transistor," says one of the paper's authors, an electrical engineer at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Now scientists in China have created a transistor using graphene and molybdenum disulfide with a gate length of just 0.34 nm by exploiting the vertical aspect of the device. “We have realized the world’s smallest gate-length transistor,” says study senior author Tian-Ling Ren, an electrical engineer at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

one carbon atom length is .0914 nm, so the heading is wrong unless some new development has occurred. The current length is still impressive but is it practically viable, we don't know that.

It depends on what atom we are talking about mate. IEEE folks ain't that stupid.

These are nifty research papers to show one up on other universities doing similar research, this has very little practical implications. At least not in the next decade.

Making a prototype an making one commercially at the right yield and quality consistently is another matter. The fact remains we have the technology but not the process technology. Can India make this transistor? Until today people think China can't make 5nm chips, WE CAN. We just can't make it commercially.

I need to check publications of IISc and IITs to check which groups are working on this field, only then I can comment.

My friend, you don't have to cehck. Technology don't just fall from the sky.
