This paves the way for new insulating materials which allow the transistor to switch faster, but are not tolerant of high temperatures.

Last year Hewlett-Packard, along with a team of scientists from UCLA, proved the ability to make a switch that could be turned off and on, like a transistor, out of a single organic molecule called a catenane.
