'''Molecular electronics''' is the study and application of molecular building blocks for the fabrication of electronic components. It is an interdisciplinary area that spans [[physics]], [[chemistry]], and [[materials science]]. It provides a potential means to extend [[Moore's Law]] beyond the foreseen limits of small-scale conventional silicon [[integrated circuit]]s.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Petty |first=M.C. |author2=Bryce, M.R. |author3=Bloor, D. |name-list-style=amp |title=Introduction to Molecular Electronics |publisher=Oxford University Press |date=1995 |location=New York |pages=1–25 |isbn=0-19-521156-1}}</ref>
