Molecular transistors

July 17th, 2005

So you want to pack more transistors onto a piece of silicon … but how about thinking in terms of transistors composed of single molecules?

A Paper on The Quantum Interference Effect Transistor can be browsed here

but in simple terms (at least my interpretation :) )- applying a voltage to turn a molecule into a simple on/off switch will provide the necessary basic building blocks.
