It is a serious step towards the creation of a molecular computer
Source:
Since the creation of the very first computer technology began to develop as rapidly as may develop or any other branch. Now computers in the modern sense has come to the peak of its development and if we want to continue to develop the technology, we need something new. And maybe scientists understood how to create
Why computers are no longer effective?
Actually, the modern "machine" still capable of much, but we have to improve them quantitatively, but not qualitatively. That is, to unite in huge clusters. And eventually we will come to where it started: computers for handling tasks will be a huge "racks" like what is depicted in the illustration below.
In addition, the infamous "Moore's Law" States that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles every two years. Increasing the number of transistors, we will increase the number of operations that they will perform 2 times. So they will process in 2 times and more information. In simple words, it doubles the processing power.
Ultimately, However, the development of microelectronics has approached the threshold beyond which increase the number of transistors is no longer possible. It is therefore necessary to create a fundamentally new system.

What is molecular
The Main difference of the molecular computer is from the classical way of processing data. If in traditional systems, the unit of data is bit, in molecular computers it is any molecule. And if the bit has only 2 States — a one and a zero, then the molecule, in contrast, can be in these two States. When the bit may have information (unit) or not to have it (zero), the molecule may have many such positions, as it is able to simultaneously interact with many other molecules and within each interaction, the result will be different. Roughly speaking, a molecule can simultaneously have as few "units" and "zeros". This greatly speeds up computation. But there is one problem: heat transfer.
"Heat — this is a huge problem of molecular computers because the interaction in these systems — is a chain of atoms. When a molecule is heated, the atoms vibrate very quickly, and the chain may tear," says one of the authors Professor, University of Michigan Edgar Meyhofer.
How to create a molecular computer
So far, the heat transfer was impossible to measure, not to mention how to control it. But a group of scientists from Japan, Germany and South Korea managed to do it. During the experiments, scientists realized that the conductivity at the molecular level is changed not as in the macrocosm. If in our world, it increases the growth of the thickness of the material, and the electrical conductivity decreases, the nano-scale with increasing thickness the conductivity of electricity remains the same.
Thus, it is possible to create a rather thick "nanowires" for the withdrawal of excess heat, which is generated during molecular interactions. It will not allow the molecules to break and will give the opportunity . There are only confirm your experience and to gather molecular computer based on new technology.
