1. The effect of raising the temperature is to make the individual molecules move faster, so that collisions can overcome the activation energy. 2. And there are still skeptics who believe that building machines from individual molecules will always remain a science fiction tale. 3. Bartle Hall is always vibrating, actually, if you get down to the level of individual molecules. 4. But when researchers isolated cadherins in solution, they found that the individual molecules barely adhered to one another at all. 5. Columnist G. Pascal Zachary decries what he sees as hype around the notion that individual molecules can be harnessed to act in concert, thereby replacing digital computing. 6. Connecting individual molecules to each other will be tricky too. 7. Studying pieces of evidence as small as individual molecules, scientists are slowly identifying suspects in a sub-cellular crime that often leads to cancer. 8. The research on conducting polymers also has applications in the emerging field of molecular electronics, where transistors and other components will be fashioned out of individual molecules. 9. The semiconductor industry is edging closer to the world of nanotechnology, where components are miniaturized to the point of individual molecules and atoms. 10. Researchers at Hewlett-Packard Co. have patented a potential breakthrough in their quest to develop computer circuits made merely of individual molecules. |
