(SET) A New electrical standard for capacitance.SET devices can be used to construct circuits which processinformation by manipulating individual electrons. SET devicesare small, dissipate little power, and can detect exquisitelysmall quantities of charge. The small size and low powerdissipation of SET circuits makes them potentially useful forthe Information Technology industry.
