The transistor. It has 3 connections on it, an in, an out, and a gate. If no electrical charge is present at the gate, it conducts electricity from the in to the out. It a charge is applied to the gate, electricity cannot flow. Single transistors are extremely small, made of 3 layers of silicon. Most are nearly, if not completely, microscopic.
