	<title>Optical Transistor Made From Single Molecule</title>

	<htmltext>An anonymous reader writes <i>"Researchers from ETH Zurich have recently managed to <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/optical-transistor-made-from-single-molecule/12157/">create an optical transistor from a single molecule</a> in what is yet another important achievement on the road to quantum computing. The molecule itself is about 2 nanometers in size, much smaller than standard transistors, which means that a lot more could be integrated in a single chip. Dr. Hwang, lead author of the academic paper, said, 'Our single-molecule optical transistor generates almost negligible amount of heat. When a single molecule absorbs one photon, there is some probability (quantum yield) that the molecule emits a photon out. The rest of the energy absorbed turns into heat in the matrix. For the case of the specific hydrocarbon molecule that we use, the quantum yield is near 100\%. So almost no heat is generated.'"</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>... but can it run Crysis?

I'm not much of a physicist, but this sounds like exciting news. I'm not really clear on how a single molecule can have properties similar to a transistor though. Gotta cool it down to 1.4 K though, ouch.</htmltext>

However, from a Christian perspective, most scholars would agree that it is not moral to poop and/or fart. This presents an interesting dilemma, since pooping and farting are physiological requirements of being a human... there's just no way to avoid it!

When we ate food and drank liquids, our bodies were able to process all of the material with perfect efficiency, leaving no waste products to be removed. However, after Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, humans lost their perfection. Part of this process included the digestive system losing its ability to process food with 100\% efficiency.

The Lord does not want these organs exposed to anybody (not even to yourself) and He certainly does not want them inserted into anybody, unless it can be demonstrated that a child is the intended result.

if so , while this is an excellent piece of engineering on it 's own , it 's pretty useless in practice as any data would just get lost in the fudge.Everything in the article focused on the heat loss , energy efficiency and potential throughput , but no reasons were specifically given as to why this would succeed where Electronic processors have broken down other than 'Photons are beter than Electrons'.How close can these new transistors get before they start contaminating each other 's states ? Would these not be more suceptable to outside interference ( Stray cosmic rays , shining a torch on it ?
