The author's drunk, the transistors he refers to are small, but hardly subatomic, which term presumedly is meant to refer to the resolution of the electron microscope in question.

The author's drunk, the transistors he refers to are small, but hardly subatomic...

Maybe so, but perhaps they are talking about being able to inspect things inside of a transistor like the oxide (which can be only a few atoms thick), the channel, depletion region and all that stuff that makes up the device.

Although the article claims that the resolution is at 1 angstrom (3.937 x 10^-9 inches), I doubt that the microscope can see inside of the atom due to either the wave nature of matter or to the electron cloud, whichever theory you prefer.
