Scientists work on creating molecular-sized microchip elements
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Modern silicon-based integrated circuits (ICs) have reached the practical limits of miniaturisation, while the use of organics can potentially allow the creation of microchip elements as large as a single molecule. Scientists from the Russian National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (MEPhI) are actively conducting studies in this field. They have recently published the results of their modeling changes in agitated molecules of organic semiconductors in the Journal of Physical Chemistry.
