Over the past several years there have been dramatic advances toward the realization of electronic computers integrated on the molecular scale. First, individual molecules were demonstrated that serve as incomprehensibly tiny switches and wires one million times smaller than those on conventional silicon microchips. This has resulted very recently in the assembly and demonstration of tiny computer logic circuits built from such molecular-scale devices.
