This is why the putative first molecular electronic device came from a cancer hospital.

He is also co-founder and an advisor to Helixis, a California manufacturer of molecular diagnostic devices.

Some scientists believe that self-assembly would be a more feasible approach for making molecular devices than trying to stack atoms together with a robot arm.

A nanomotor is a molecular device capable of converting energy into movement.

Simple molecular devices combine to form systems resembling industrial machines.

To see how one approach would work, imagine that the blood stream carries simple molecular devices to tissues, where they enter the cells.

Other molecular devices then move in, displacing water and packing themselves solidly around the molecules of the cell.

The next step in this procedure involved other molecular devices able to displace water and pack themselves solidly around the molecules of a cell.

Synthesis and use of porphyrins for photovoltaic and molecular devices.

First, it allows a cell to function as a battery, providing power to operate a variety of "molecular devices" embedded in the membrane.
