Abstract The high levels of heat dissipated from the massive wiring in nanoelectronics will likely bias future generation ultradense integrated chips towards designs that use wireless communication and computation. Parallelism will also increase, from the bit-based serial designs in current hardware towards biomorphic processors. Nature will serve as a great inspiration in this context, but it has yet to reveal many of its secrets to mankind. I will talk about a method to create assemblies of molecular switches in such a way that all the encoded information elements communicate among themselves at a time and eventually carry out an effective computation. Structural reorganization of a molecular assembly has been a rigorously studied phenomenon; we have developed a generalized method to localize this phenomenon selectively. Localization of structural reorganization enables the assembly to create distinct patterns of molecular ordering depending on the distribution of excess electrons on the top-layer. This technological advancement has enabled us to realize emergent computing proposed nearly 50 years back.
