Nanotechnology constantly allows for new records in miniaturization. Reduction of the dimension of electronic components, however, has physical limits that will be reached soon. Novel materials and components are required. This is where molecular electronics comes in. Scientists have now succeeded in developing a molecular toggle switch that does not only remain in the position selected, but can also be flipped as often as desired.
