Wow - The level of miniaturization possible with a single-molecule diode is staggering: a transistor is two diodes with a joined contact (NPN or PNP depending on which contacts are joined) & the transistor is the basis for our digital-logic (computing) devices.
I’d imagine that we’d see something as powerful (computing-wise) as the laptop I’m using in something the size of a normal wristwatch... and something with the power of a top-line desktop in one of those old-style calculator/digital-watches.

Very cool. This is probably how transistors started out. If this works out we’ll have computers in wristwatches.
That is pretty darned wild.
Tell you one thing, this isn’t a one-or-two-guys-working- in-their-garage project, he said, invoking the larval H-P.
