Molecular Switches: A Review
Asha Lather, Himani Malik · 2012
Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. Generally, nanotechnology deals with developing materials, devices, or other structures with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometer. Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. Molecular nanotechnology is especially associated with the molecular assembler, a machine that can produce a desired structure or device atom-by-atom using the principles of mechanosynthesis. The emphasis of this paper to study of molecular nanotechnology , some of its applications, desired properties in molecular nanotechnology ,development of molecular electronics ,nano-structured materials , molecular nanoelectronics switches and some future scope of it.
