Abstract

Towards single-molecule transistors The ultimate in electronic device miniaturization would be the creation of circuit elements consisting of an individual molecule. A single-molecule transistor exploiting the electrostatic modulation of a molecule's orbital energy is a theoretical possibility. Now Hyunwook Song and colleagues report the successful realization of such a device, a proof of concept that should enhance the practical prospects for molecularly engineered electronics.
