By Birgit Baustädter The research area of molecular electronics focuses on miniaturisation. It's a further development of microelectronics and deals with circuits at the molecular level. Electronic objects of daily life are becoming increasingly smaller - but at the same time more powerful and efficient. The research area of molecular electronics, a sub-area of microelectronics, aims at miniaturisation, and research in this field is being carried out at the Institute of Solid State Physics at TU Graz. At the centre of interest is how electricity can flow in individual molecules, molecular layers (i.e. in a layer of arranged molecules) and in molecular clusters. "Molecular electronics is the ultimate miniaturisation of electronics - single molecules suddenly become active elements and circuits become considerably smaller than they are, for instance, in microelectronics," explains Egbert Zojer from TU Graz's Institute of Solid State Physics.
