The human mitochondrial molecularclock is the rate at which mutations have been accumulating in the mitochondrial genome of hominids during the course of human evolution . The archeological record of human activity from early periods in human prehistory is relatively limited and its interpretation has been controversial. Because of the uncertainties from the archeological record, scientists have turned to molecular dating techniques in order to refine the timeline of human evolution. A major goal of scientists in the field is to develop an accurate hominid mitochondrial molecularclock which could then be used to confidently date events that occurred during the course of human evolution.

Willner, Structure and Bonding 2001 99 237 281. ref The molecular component can be described as a molecular switch , and may perform this function by any of several mechanisms, including charge physics charge storage, photochromism , or changes in capacitance . In a perfect molecular memory device, each individual molecule contains a bit of data, leading to massive data capacity. However, practical devices are more likely to use large numbers of molecules for each bit, in the manner of 3D optical data storage many examples of which can be considered molecular memory devices . The term molecular memory is most often used to mean indicate very fast, electronically addressed solid state data storage, as is the term computer memory . At present, molecular memories are still found only in laboratories. Examples One approach to molecular memories is based on special compounds such as porphyrin based polymer s which are capable of storing electric charge . Once a certain voltage threshold is achieved the material oxidation oxidizes , releasing an electric charge. The process is reversible, in effect creating an electric capacitor .

Unreferenced date September 2009 Molecular physics is the study of the physical properties of molecule s and of the chemical bond s between atom s. Its most important experimental techniques are the various types of spectroscopy . The field is closely related to atomic physics and overlaps greatly with theoretical chemistry , physical chemistry and chemical physics . Additionally to the electronic excitation states which are known from atoms, molecules are able to rotate and to vibrate. These rotations and vibrations are quantized, there are discrete energy level s. The smallest energy differences exist between different rotational states, therefore pure rotational Spectrum spectra are in the far infrared region about 30 150 m wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum . Vibrational spectra are in the near infrared about 1 5 m and spectra resulting from electronic transitions are mostly in the visible and ultraviolet regions. From measuring rotational and vibrational spectra properties of molecules like the distance between the nuclei can be calculated. One important aspect of molecular physics is that the essential atomic orbital theory in the field of atomic physics expands to the molecular orbital theory.

The terms more often used is molecular beacon probes . Molecular beacons are hairpin shaped molecules with an internally quenched fluorophore whose fluorescence is restored when they bind to a target nucleic acid sequence. This is a novel non radioactive method for detecting specific sequences of nucleic acids. They are useful in situations where it is either not possible or desirable to isolate the probe target hybrids from an excess of the hybridization probes. Molecular beacon probes Image SNP Molecularprobe 1.png right A typical molecular beacon probe is 25 nucleotides long. The middle 15 nucleotides are complementary to the target DNA and do not base pair with one another, and the five nucleotides at each end are complementary to each other and not to the target DNA.
