in the article:

Michael invented and patented the world"s first and only concept for non-contact UV photon induced electric field poling of ferroelectric non-linear photonic bandgap crystals, which offers the possibility of controlling and manipulating light within a UV/Deep Blue frequency of 1 nm to 400 nm.

Michael uses UV photons and microwave electric fields to change the internal geometry of a molecule to make it function as an Atomic Switch. His website also talks about spintronics.

Looks like the field of molecular physics is a hotbed of activity.
