Encoding and transport of information in molecular and biomolecular systems

摘要

Under the urgency to continue the exponential increase of computational power, which is seriously limited by physical laws, regardless of the materials used, that will not allows us any more to continue the so far successful scaling-down to reach higher performances by simultaneously allowing smaller and faster electronic devices, we have proposed possible scenarios that will solve the need to compromise, because heat dissipation, speed and size of integrated devices. These scenarios based on molecular electrostatic potentials and molecular vibrational modes can be combined to process and code information in nanosized circuits.
