New molecular electronics technology could exceed silicon chip density by 1,000 times
Shrinking transistors has driven computing performance for decades, but the approach is hitting physical ...
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 ...
The atomic switch operates by forming and breaking a tiny silver filament inside a thin film of tantalum oxide. When a positive voltage is applied, silver atoms move to create a conductive bridge ...
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 ...
The miniaturization of electronic devices that use silicon-based technology will soon reach a limit and if devices are to continue getting smaller, scientists must harness the electronic properties of ...
Researchers at University of Cambridge have taken a first experimental step toward understanding how the molecular mechanics ...
For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...
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 ...
