DESCRIPTION
An international team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the University of Oxford, Lancaster University, and the University of Waterloo have developed a new single-molecule transistor that uses quantum interference to control the flow of electrons. The transistor, which is described in a paper published in the Nature Nanotechnology ("Quantum interference enhances the performance of single-molecule transistors"), opens new possibilities for using quantum effects in electronic devices.
