Better measurements of single molecule circuits
It is nearly 50 years since Gordon Moore predicted that the density of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every two years. Moore's Law has turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy that technologists pushed to meet, but to continue into the future, engineers will have to make radical changes to the structure or composition of circuits.
