As electronic devices continue to get smaller and smaller, physical size limitations are beginning to disrupt the trend of doubling transistor density on silicon-based microchips approximately every ...

In January, 2022, – The first molecular electronics chip was developed. This achieved a 50-year-old goal of integrating single molecules into circuits to achieve the ultimate scaling limits of Moore’s ...

Scientists have long dreamed of making molecular electronics, building one-dimensional strings atom by atom to create new circuits even smaller than today’s tiniest silicon structures. Shrinking ...

Molecular switches are nanoscale devices that can reversibly change their state or conformation in response to external stimuli. These switches are typically individual molecules or molecular ...

Researchers have developed a new theoretical modelling technique that could potentially be used in the development of switches or amplifiers in molecular electronics. Researchers have developed a new ...

A molecular switch is an important step toward building molecular computers. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Applications of Molecular Electronics, or MoleApps, program sponsors ...

James Tour and Roswell Biotechnologies just commercially released a molecular electronics chip. They attached molecules onto attachments at billions of points on a semiconductor chip. This speeds up ...

The company's scientists have received a patent on connecting a new type of super-small computer circuit to the outside world, dealing with a key obstacle in making such circuits useful. Stephen ...

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers report a unique strategy for controlling molecular conductance by using molecules with rigid backbones – such as ladder-type molecules, known as ...
