1.   A similar design might work for self-assembled molecular computers.

2.   He believes molecular computers could work without a single electron having to move around a circuit.

3.   He said that molecular computers can perform more than a trillion operations per second, which makes them a thousand times as fast as the fastest supercomputer.

4.   Molecular computer mavens could use the money, because they still face many potential stumbling blocks.

5.   Molecular computers, Adleman said, are breathtakingly fast and efficient, and they have unheard of storage capacities.

6.   One hope is that some yet-to-be-discovered material capable of removing excess heat could prevent molecular computers from disintegrating into smoldering blobs.

7.   The researchers cautioned that what they have created is only the first step toward building molecular computers and that significant barriers remain.

8.   Tour has good reason to believe the same principle could work in molecular computers.
