  The way I want to do it is find a molecule with something that you can turn on and off (like a light switch) so you have a replacement for the current parts of a computer chip.
  
  Then, I want to put these molecules into a particular pattern so we can turn each molecule on and off separately and start to try and make them work as a computer.
