Molecule for Electronics: A Myriad of Opportunities Comes with Daunting Challenges

Since the invention of Integrated Circuit (IC) in 1958, we have seen an unprecedented growth in Si-based electronics industry; ICs are currently used in almost all electronic gadgets. However, it is now very much clear that this era of growth we have been witnessing for the last five decades will soon hit the brick wall, once the transistor size reaches the physical limit of miniaturization.
