Researchers have demonstrated a halogen-free method for building ultra-long carbon nanoribbons on copper surfaces, removing ...

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 ...

The longest chains of the conductive polymer poly(p-phenylene; PPP) produced to date are just under one micrometer ...

Researchers built a silver atomic switch that forms and breaks single-molecule junctions, enabling stable molecular wiring and advancing scalable, energy-efficient electronics. (Nanowerk News) ...

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 ...

The discovery that won the latest Nobel Prize in physics seems far away from our life, but one day everything could change with the arrival of molecular gadgets. We've tried to look into the future.

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 ...
