Cell phones as thin and flex�ible as a sheet of paper. Energy-??storing house paint. Roll-??up touch screen dis�plays. But if any of them is to work, said North�eastern Uni�ver�sity mechan�ical and indus�trial engi�neering pro�fessor Yung Joon Jung, experts also need to create a thin and flex�ible energy-??storage system. His lab has devel�oped such a system.

The electronics of the future could use molecules to do their arithmetic. The tiny particles could then take over the tasks which are presently done by silicon transistors, for example. Researchers from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin have used a nanowire which could potentially conduct current between molecular transistors or different components.
