TL;DR: This review presents a brief summary of bottom-up and hybrid bottom- up/top-down strategies for nanoelectronics with an emphasis on memories based on the crossbar motif, including experimental demonstrations of key concepts such lithography-independent, chemically coded stochastic demultipluxers.
Electron transport in molecular junctions.
TL;DR: An overview of some of the recent advances in electron transport through molecules attached to electrodes is presented and issues, including molecule–electrode contacts, local heating- and current-induced instabilities, stochastic fluctuations and the development of characterization tools are discussed.
