A one-molecule transistor would seem nice. I've heard of better:
A Single Electron Transistor (SET)
(AKA a quantum dot)
The SET was patented by Toshiro Futatsugi of Fujitsu Corp in 1999.
I suppose the one-molecule transistor is closer to being actually used than a SET. SETs are mostly experimental today and require really cold temperatures to work right. Then there's the problem of actually connecting the SETs to each other....Eh well. Go Canada.
