Assessing molecular electronics, graphene plasmon chips and future computing

The Eetimes recently discussed another candidate technology for molecular electronics. Monomeric phthalocyanines could be organized into one dimensional wire-like ring-stacked or two dimensional sheet-like ring-fused phthalocyanines to make fully reversible quantum switch with multiple outputs. CTT, the company that bought the rights to the technology, is only a 27 million market cap company. Although they …
