✦ Synopsis

Molecular-scale electronics could be a real possibility if recent research is to be believed [Science (2001) 294, 1293-1294]. Charles Lieber and his team at Harvard University report some of the most exciting new results in the 9 November issue of Science [(2001) 294, 1313-1317] and at the recent Materials Research Society Fall Meeting. The researchers take a bottom-up approach to assemble devices from solution. Using crossed semiconductor nanowires of p-type silicon (Si) and n-type gallium nitride (GaN), diodes
