Computer researchers said they believe the advance heralds the rapid acceleration of a new field known as moletronics, or molecular electronics.

Most earlier efforts in the emerging field of molecular electronics have focused on finding ways to continue the miniaturization of transistors.
43.
In December 1961, the Air Force accepted the first analog device created within the molecular electronics program a radio receiver.
44.
The experimental results involved research by Schon and other scientists in the hot fields of superconductivity, molecular electronics and molecular crystals.
45.
In fact, it's more likely that chipmakers will gradually integrate new structures such as molecular electronics into current silicon technology, Gargini said.
46.
An important issue in molecular electronics is the determination of the resistance of a single molecule ( both theoretical and experimental ).
47.
Speculating about whether a new technology like molecular electronics might displace an existing one like silicon is very risky, the researchers said.
48.
"We really have a period of momentous development in molecular-scale electronics, " said James C . Ellenbogen, a pioneer in molecular electronics.
49.
The superconductor work is not among the seven papers that include the suspect graphs, which report advances in organic transistors and molecular electronics.
50.
"It's going to convince more people of something we've been contending for several years _ that molecular electronics is real, " he said.
