Smallest Electronic Component: Molecular Diode

Researchers have found a way to make small, versatile diodes. The smaller size means cheaper cost and better performance for electronic devices. Diodes are important components for a broad range of applications. The idea of surpassing silicon limits with molecule-based electronic components has been around awhile. Currently, 'AC Modulation' is used by applying a little varying mechanical perturbation to the molecule.
