For decades, the electronics industry has advanced by making devices smaller and more powerful. From laptops to smartphones and wearable gadgets, this progress has relied on shrinking transistors, the tiny switches that control electrical signals, while increasing processing speed. Traditional transistors work by controlling the flow of electrical current, but as their size approaches just a few nanometers, quantum effects such as electron leakage and heat dissipation make this approach less efficient.
