Somehow I would imagine the researchers have to start taking into account quantum mechanics working with single atoms.

"...taking into account quantum mechanics working with single atoms"

Now that's interesting given the uncertainty principle.

Or have they caged the atom?

I've wondered the same thing about Moore's Law.

Sooner than later the effects at the particle level are going to begin wrecking MAJOR havoc on traditional semiconductors and the engineers determined to make them smaller and smaller...

This does seem like a very chancy proposition.
