31. Future developments in molecular electronics are predicted to dramatically increase the speed while reducing the size of computers. 32. Which is why, by a delicious irony, the generally-acknowledged first molecular electronic device came from a cancer hospital. 33. Phthalocyanine compounds have been investigated as donor materials in molecular electronics , e . g . organic field-effect transistors. 34. MEMS technology is distinquished from molecular nanotechnology or molecular electronics in that the latter must also consider surface chemistry. 35. The company, Molecular Electronics Corp ., was incorporated in December and opened its first office in Chicago in January. 36. "And that's a tremendous difference to anything else that's been shown in the molecular electronics field . " _ __ 37. But in molecular electronics , the smallest components may be able to shrink to one-hundredth that size _ a single nanometer. 38. The other was, as Hish notes, " " the first experimental demonstration of an operating molecular electronic device " ". 39. Their publication was the first serious and concrete theoretical proposal in the new field of molecular electronics ( UE ). 40. The research involved work by Schon and other scientists in the hot fields of superconductivity, molecular electronics and molecular crystals.
