For the title? The only place to go from here is QBit quantum computing...
It physically is impossible to get any smaller at this point with the way magnetic charges work...
Anything past this will be in the field of quantum computations...
How is this sensationalized?

Although the research took place at a temperature near absolute zero, .
the scientists wrote that the same experiment could be done at room temperature with as few as 150 atoms

Not many applications are made that take advantage of multiple core cpus (Photoshop is one for all you UFO "enthusiasts", PS runs like a dream on dual/quad core cpus). I expect this might change in the future, but for now Moore's Law has run into these problems.
There is no set in stone exponential growth other than the number of mouths to feed on planet Earth, Moore's Law ran into its problems that need to be solved just like anything.

Moore's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware: the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.
