Single Molecules Enhance Electrical Conductivity by Manjeet Bhatia is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Researchers have found that single molecules can conduct electricity more efficiently if they contain an odd rather than even number of electrons. Molecules with an odd number of electrons conduct better at low voltages. This discovery could allow single molecules to replace metal components in electronic circuits, significantly miniaturizing electronic devices. Using conductive molecules could enable more efficient microchips and interfaces between inorganic and biological materials like human cells.
