✦ Synopsis
Based on the theoretical prediction that chemical bonds can act as tunnel junctions in the Coulomb blockade regime, and on the technical ability to coat a DNA strand with metal, we suggest that DNA can be used to built nano-logical devices. We Ž . discuss two explicit examples: a single-electron tunneling transistor SET and a quantum bit element. These devices would be literally in the nano-meter scale and would be able to operate at room temperature. In addition they would be highly stable and have a self ably property.
