A longstanding aim in molecular-scale electronics is to create a true transistor analogue in which charge transport through a molecule is directly controlled by external modulation of the molecular orbitals. The observation of such a solid-state molecular device is now reported. The data demonstrate that true molecular transistors can be created, and clear the way for molecularly engineered electronic devices.
