This article reports that the molecular electronics is an interdisciplinary field, which lies at the interface of chemistry, electrical engineering, optical engineering, and solid-state science. It is defined as the encoding, manipulation, and retrieval of information at a molecular or macromolecular level. This approach contrasts with current commercial techniques, which are exponentially approaching their practical limits, and where these tasks are accomplished by lithographic manipulation of bulk materials to generate integrated circuits. Molecular electronics not only represents the final technological stage in the miniaturization of computer circuitry, but it also promises new methods for high-speed signal processing and communication, volumetric data storage, novel associative and neural architectures, as well as linear and nonlinear devices and memories. |
