Microscopic devices may allow infinitesimal computers

Could the next level of computer technology be just over the horizon?

 

An international research team think they have identified something that acts as a one way electrical valve, a diode... the only difference is that its a single molecule!

 

Diodes are the logical "gates" that make a [acr=Central Processing Unit]CPU[/acr] work, if we can make these smaller then we can make the [acr=Central Processing Unit]CPU[/acr] its self much smaller. Could this lead to the next generation of ultra-fast and microscopic computers? Only time will tell.
