New Results Force Scientists to Rethink Single-Molecule Wires

Abstract:
Single-molecule switches have the potential to shrink computing circuits dramatically, but new results from the ASU lab that first described how to wire a single molecule between gold contacts now show that laboratory-standard wired molecules have an unavoidable tendency to "blink" randomly.
