Potential On-Off Switch for Nanoelectronics

As electronic circuits shrink from finely etched lines in silicon wafers to
nearly elusive proportions, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
(Berkeley Lab) and Columbia University are studying how electrons flow through
a molecular junction-a nanometer scale circuit element that contacts gold atoms
with a single molecule.
