Scientists at Cornell University in New York have built a transistor just one atom wide.

Unfortunately, before their feat could be independently verified, they misplaced the one atom wide transistor. They're still looking for it.

News Update: Richard Cranium, professor at Cornell, recently explained how the one atom wide transistor was lost. "We had grabbed onto the pyridine handle with our tweezers, taken a few steps across the room, and the damn things bent. Must have been pot-metal chinese crap. No more shopping at Wal-Mart for us. Damn. Excuse me, I have to vacuum up in hopes of finding it."
