Molecular spintronics is emerging field of nanoscale electronics that uses molecules to build ultrafast, low power electronics devices
The age of electrically-based devices has been with us for more than six decades. With more and more electrical devices being packed into smaller and smaller spaces, the limits of physical space will prevent further expansion in the direction the microelectronics industry is currently going. Also, volatile memory, which does …
