According to the predictions of Gordon Moore in 1965, the number of transistors per square centimeter of silicon doubles every 18 months [1]. This requires that the size of transistors and the interconnecting wires between them decrease at the same rate. Up until now, this miniaturization has been realized by improvements in photolithographic techniques. These techniques will reach their fundam...

Beyond being the repository of genetic information, DNA is playing an increasingly important role as a building block for molecular electronics. Its inherent structural and molecular recognition properties render it a leading candidate for molecular electronics applications. The structural stability, diversity and programmability of DNA provide overwhelming freedom for the design and fabricatio...
