"symmetrical structure of silicon molecules fine-tuned creating/ suppressing destructive interference, turning conductivity on/ off.. precise control over how atoms are arranged/ way electrons move through silicon structures... molecular symmetry in silicon leads to interference effects that control how electrons move through it, and we can switch that interference on or off by controlling how electrodes align with our molecule... molecular-scale switches, thermoelectric devices, quantum computing components"
