Powers of Ten, Moore’s Law, and Single Molecule Wires
I previously discussed plastic electronics — and how molecules and polymers can be electrically conductive.
A key idea to remember is the unbelievable scale of molecules. If I used a conducting polymer molecule ~10 nanometers in length (as an example) and formed a conducting film approx. 1cm x 1cm in size, then to get one electron [...]
