Computing with Molecules: Big Step in Molecular Spintronics

Each molecule can be separately addressed with a scanning tunneling microscope and switched between the states by applying a positive or negative voltage.

Spintronics or spin electronics in contrast to conventional electronics uses the spin of electrons for sensing, information storage, transport, and processing. Potential advantages are nonvolatility, increased data processing speed, decreased electric power consumption, and higher integration densities compared to
