Currently our group is researching electron transport through small (5 nm) molecules.  It will provide to create a new generation of elctronic devices.  We need both good experimentalists and theorists, that want to work, to acheive this difficult goal.

Scanning electron microscope image of gold electrodes with a gap less than 2 nm (b,c). We made them in our lab by an accurate breaking of the nanowire (a) with high density current.The electrodes are ready for fixation and studying of a molecule.
