Abstract
Molecular electronics devices hold great promise for electronics applications. But how have the devices fared so far? In their Perspective, [ Flood et al .][1], review recent advances in this field. They conclude that several types of molecular electronics devices, such as molecular rectifiers and molecular switch tunnel junctions, have withstood scientific scrutiny: In these devices, the observed effects are indeed molecular in origin. Future practical devices will most likely consist of hybrid devices that combine molecular with existing electronics. [1]: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5704/2055Keywords
