A unique transistor developed using single molecules controlled by mechanical forces could pave the way for advances in areas such as quantum information processing, ultra-compact electronics and sensing applications. In a major breakthrough in electronics, scientists at the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, an autonomous institute, have developed a unique transistor using single molecules controlled by mechanical forces instead of conventional electrical signals. Using a piezoelectric stack, the researchers carefully break a macroscopic metal wire to create a precisely sized sub-nanometer gap for a single molecule such…
