GA-Source bericht dat er in Duitsland een doorbraak is bereikt bij de ontwikkeling moleculaire computers. Een of andere slimme harrie met de naam James La Clair heeft een molecuul ontwikkeld die aan en uit geswitched kan worden:
James La Clair, formerly with the Scripps Research Institute in California, had developed a molecule that could be switched on and off by nitrogen and carbon dioxide, it said.[...] Molecular computing could help to solve a major problem facing the technology industry -- the physical limitations of silicon-based transistors. Scientists at Intel have warned of problems with further scaling down of transistors. Computers based on molecules, not on silicon, could make computers in the future much more powerful and compact.
``Molecular circuits could be just a fraction of a nanometer (one thousand-millionth of a meter) wide. Researchers have already created molecular wires, logic gates (a building block of computers) and switches, which may some day be hooked up to make a working computer a fraction of the size of existing machines,'' the magazine said.
