PET molecules make sense

My old friend AP de Silva of Queen’s University Belfast has put together a video to explain how molecular logic based on luminescent PET (photoinduced electron transfer) is revolutionising smart medical diagnostics and could bring us a future generation of electronic gadgets based on molecular computing. de Silva and his team have been working on molecular logic since the early 1990s when I first reported on their logic and sensor research for New Scientist and other publications.
