Today the smallest silicon transistors are already achieving atomic limits — a 4-nanometer silicon transistor channel, for instance, would consist of about 20 atoms. To go to the next silicon generation, all sorts of imperfections and uneven doping problems are facing the further downsized silicon transistors.  If IBM, or others — in fact China is now leading in nanotube research
