The team of Khondaker and Stokes devised a new technique to engineer quantum transistors which will be published in Applied Physics Letters (Issue 92). Computer electronics experts worries about what is going to occur when transistors shrink so small that electron quantum effects begin to play a role. In response, Khondaker and Stokes have controllably…
