By studying metal-molecule orbitals coupling, in which a flow of electrons is modulated by the overlapping level of the molecular \u2018\u03c0-orbitals’ and the orbitals of the electrodes binding to it, they found a new way to control the electrical conductance in a single-molecule junction. “We mechanically modulated the angle of a molecule bridged between two metal electrodes,” explains Ismael. “Changing its angle from highly-tilted to nearly perpendicular to the electrodes changes the conductance by an order of magnitude.” Single-molecule electromechanical devices would open up huge possibilities in being able to create things at an ever-smaller scale. <\/p>\n
