Truly Micro Electronics in a Single Molecule - New York Times

"...I.B.M. researchers have succeeded in fashioning an electronic circuit around a single carbon nanotube molecule...The researchers report obtaining switching frequencies of 52 megahertz, which is roughly the equivalent of an Intel 486 microprocessor chip commercially available 15 years ago."

"An author of the I.B.M. paper, Zhihong Chen, said she believed that it would ultimately be possible to build molecular devices that reach switching speeds of trillions of operations a second. Such computing performance is obtained today only by the fastest parallel supercomputers."

The above two paragraph is from Truly Micro Electronics in a Single Molecule - New York Times.

What is worth noting is the number of Chinese names in the author list in the article on science. Here is the abstract of the article: An Integrated Logic Circuit Assembled on a Single Carbon Nanotube -- Chen et al. 311 (5768): 1735 -- Science
