Faster, Smaller, Smarter and More Energy-Efficient Chips: World’s Smallest Atom-Memory Unit Created

The nanotech goal for memory size has been achieved, although the manufacturing process still needs to catch up:

"The scientific holy grail for scaling is going down to a level where a single atom controls the memory function, and this is what we accomplished in the new study."
