- California Molecular Electronics (1997)
California Molecular Electronics Corp. (CALMEC®) is a Silicon Valley
company whose business plan is structured to position the company as a
leader in the molecular electronics industry. Founded in March 1997 and
incorporated in the State of Arizona, CALMEC's objective is to commercially
develop the field of molecular electronics. Molecular electronics is a new
technology frontier. It is based on the principle of using individual
molecules to form the components of electronic devices. Molecule-sized
electronics produces electronic devices hundreds of times smaller and at
a lower cost than that possible with semiconductor electronics. As such,
it poses the potential to revolutionize the semiconductor industry as we
know it today.

combinatorial organic synthesis, analysis of combinatorial libraries, and
high throughput screening. Nanosyn is focused on developing integrated
technologies for miniaturized ("nanoscale") to milligram scale combinatorial
synthesis. We believe that matching the scale of synthesis with the small
amounts of material required for modern high throughput screening creates
unique opportunities for both lead discovery and lead optimization. We
provide a cost-efficient solution for the generation of large and diverse
libraries as well as for synthesis of smaller, focused libraries using
proprietary building blocks.
