IBM Creates 9nm Carbon Nanotube Transistor

[xenocide]

IBM has demonstrated a nine nanometer (9nm) carbon nanotube transistor (CNT) — the smallest CNT ever made, and significantly smaller than any commercial silicon transistor. At 9nm, IBM’s transistor is also smaller than the physical limit of silicon transistors, which is around 11nm.

Cool. Too bad there is no good way to mass produce those things yet.

Yea, it's more of a "hey look at we can do!" thing. But it's the next logical step when they hit the assumed 11nm barrier for Silicon.
