They break the barrier of computational miniaturization.

It seems almost crazy to think of computer chips so small that they could fit in a drop of water and of course operating with extreme energy efficiency, crazy for some of us because for the researchers at the University of Miami it is not. They, in collaboration with other institutions, have just created an organic molecule capable of conducting electricity almost perfectly, paving the way for a new generation of more powerful and miniaturized chips without silicon. The new molecule is composed of elements abundant in nature such as carbon, sulfur and nitrogen and was designed to allow the passage of electrons without a significant loss of energy, even at molecular lengths previously considered unviable. According to scientists, it is the most conductive organic molecule ever created with electrical conductance greater than what was known in molecular systems. Unlike silicon that faces physical limitations as chips get smaller, this molecule maintains stability under normal day-to-day conditions and can be integrated into existing nanoelectronic components functioning as cables or ultra-compact interconnectors.

The secret of the material lies in the unique way in which electrons travel through the molecule like projectiles without dispersion or loss of energy. This efficient conduction at nanometric scales can allow not only smaller devices, but also more robust and reliable ones with reduced production costs and less environmental impact. In addition to the potential for classical computing, the researchers highlight that the spin properties of the molecule could allow its use as Cubyts, a basic element of quantum computing, expanding the possibilities towards new hybrid computational architectures. Potential applications include, in addition to ultra-compact computer chips, molecular interconnectors in advanced circuits, components for quantum computing and new small wearable devices with greater processing power, such as smartwatches or even brain chips. The objective of this innovation is to break the miniaturization barrier imposed by silicon, inaugurating a new era of organic nano electronics, with smaller, cheaper, sustainable and potentially more powerful devices. By reducing the entire chip to the size of a molecule, we are not only redesigning the technology, but we are getting closer to a future where the invisible will be the engine of the visible.
