Nobody can doubt the effort of scientists when it comes to transistors and their importance in modern technological advancements. Over time, transistors have been in the market, designed from singular molecules. Electron flow in these transistors has been facilitated by the modulation of energy produced by molecular orbits or orbital. This behavior has greatly influenced the genesis of current and future molecular transistors and other devices. Since transistors (integration of circuit elements) work with the electric current flowing within the electrodes (drain and source electrodes), trying to improve voltage put to the 3rd electrode, normally referred to as gate electrode, the manufacture of these transistors takes time, money and energy.
Determination by scientists and researchers so far has bore fruit; they have made a breakthrough with the first molecular transistors being made. This brand of transistor is made from one molecule, has its benzene molecule bonded to the vibrant gold contacts and works or performs like the silicon transistors. The presence of varying energy degrees in the molecule can easily be manipulated by varying states of energy. Through this you can be able to assert yourself in controlling the passage of current via it.
