Graphene

World's smallest transistor is the size of a molecule

The University of Manchester team led by Prof Andre Geim has been fashioning the transistors from the world's thinnest material, called graphene, consisting of carbon atoms a single layer thick, arranged in a hexagonal pattern like that seen in chicken wire.

 		Could be very useful for alternate energy sources.
In the infrastructures and distribution systems too.
Lighter,less bulkier,more stylish power generators.
Portable ones too.
