More on Bell Labs molecular transitor

from the Molectronics dept.
The Lucent Bell Laboratories research team that reported they had succeeded in creating transistor with a single molecule channel length in November have published their results in the 7 December 2001 issue of Science ("Field-Effect Modulation of the Conductance of Single Molecules", v294, p 2138-2140). That work was previously reported here on 8 November 2001.
An article in Technology Research News ("Single molecule drives transistor", by Eric Smalley, 12 December 2001) provides some background, as well as some quotes from the researchers.
