Richard Feynman presented an amazing talk entitled There's
Plenty of Room at the Bottom, in which he proposed making very
small circuits out of molecules. More than forty years later,
people are starting to realize his vision. Thanks to Scanning
Tunneling Microscope (STM) probes and "self-assembly"
fabrication techniques, it is now possible to connect electrodes
to a molecule and measure its conductance. In 2004, Mark Hersam
et al. reported the first experimental measurement of a
molecular resonant tunneling device on silicon. This new field
of Molecular Electronics may someday provide the means to
miniaturize circuits beyond the limits of silicon, keeping
Moore's Law in force for many years to come. Learn more about
