Molecular wires are chains of molecules that conduct electric current. These molecules can include natural species like DNA or encompass a range of polymeric organic or inorganic molecules.Recent research has suggested that these molecular wires conduct current at a better rate than that of semiconductors. The potential of self-assembly can be used to assemble several molecules to carry out specific functions. Molecular wires have shown to enhance certain properties of polymers for use in potentiometry. Research suggests the use of nanowires to measure torque at Nano levels. It is proposed that these molecular wires may serve to overcome the limitations associated with the current semi-conductors or macroscopic wires.In 1959, physicist Richard Feynman discussed the possibilities of devices of small dimensions in his lecture entitled ''There's plenty of room at the bottom"-this book compiles various aspects of this field that hopes to pique the potential researcher into exploring this exciting arena.The book serves to cover various aspects of molecular wires like its brief history, research carried out, the potential working, various concepts involving the working and construction and potential applications of these molecular wires.
