In Need of an Electronic Valve

I am trying to find an electronic valve that is very small. I am
getting together the parts for a project that will connect to a
kitchen sink faucet I am trying to find an electronic valve that will
be small enough to control waterflow through a kitchen sink but is not
so huge as to make the attachment, when completed, a monster in size.
I would really appreciate if anyone can point me in the direction of
some valves like this, or at least to some companies or websites that
have a selection of electronic valves so that I can do some further
research.
Appreciate the help, thanks.

Some toilets at work have the auto flush gizmo on them. They run off
a few AA cells. Seems like a good place to start looking. And there
are other solenoid operated valves used for control of such stuff as
medical fluids.

Tell us what you are trying to do, there may be better ways. Does it
need to be quickly/conveniently attached or detached, or can it be
permanently connected under the sink? Is this a one off? Since you
said the faucet, I'll assume for now that means it must be visible. You
still might be able to use a dishwasher water control valve and cover
it.

Even domestic washing machines and dish-washers use them
to admit the water to the drum/whatever. Try your local repair centre.

Ummm.... (cautiously looking for trick question, and not finding
one)... have you considered repurposing a regular
infra-red-motion-sensing automatic faucet as used in many fine
airports, movie sets, restaurants, federal prisons and other places of
public entertainment? That has the item you want (it's called a
solenoid valve) already built into a faucet compatible with standard
household fittings. Look at Delta's range of products.
