Molecular electronics (ME)

Any system with atomically precise electronic devices of nanometer dimensions, especially if made of discrete molecular parts rather than the continuous materials found in today's semiconductor devices. Also: Using molecule-based materials for electronics, sensing, and optoelectronics, ME is the set of electronic behaviours in molecule-containing structures that are dependent upon the characteristic molecular organisation of space. ME behaviour is fixed at the scale of the individual molecule, which is effectively the nanoscale.
