Single Electron Reader Opens Path for Quantum Computing (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100927105353.htm)
Australians doing science! FTW!
Joking aside. The single electron-bit (ebit) has been a goal of material and computing science for as long as I can remember. Mainly because it has been perceived as a fundamental limit to how small you can make a memory device. At the moment the support circuitry on the chip makes the ebit memory cell way bigger than that of a conventional dynamic RAM cell but the fact that the principals are now know will spur on development again.
QuoteScienceDaily (Sep. 29, 2010) â€" A team led by engineers and physicists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, have developed one of the key building blocks needed to make a quantum computer using silicon: a "single electron reader."

If this leads to artificial intelligence that wipes humanity off the planet...

Bumping this one up to date a bit, to where quantum computing is now a reality. You may be quite routinely talking to a quantum computer in the not too distant future.
