Bipolar and field effect molecular wire transistors are provided. The molecular wire transistor comprises a pair of crossed wires, with at least one of the wires comprising a doped semiconductor material. The pair of crossed wires forms a junction where one wire crosses another, one wire being provided with Lewis acid functional groups and the other wire being provided with Lewis base functional groups. If both wires are doped semiconductor, such as silicon, one is P-doped and the other is N-doped. One wire of a given doping comprises the emitter and collector portions and the other wire comprises the base portion, which is formed by modulation doping on the wire containing the emitter and collector at the junction where the wires cross and between the emitter and collector portions, thereby forming a bipolar transistor. Both NPN and PNP bipolar transistors may be formed. Analogously, one wire may comprise doped semiconductor, such as silicon, and the other wire a metal, the doped silicon wire forming the source and drain and the metal wire forming the gate by modulation doping on the doped silicon wire where the wires cross, between the source and drain, to form a field effect transistor. Both P-channel and N-channel FETs may be formed. The construction of both bipolar transistors and FETs on a nanometer scale, which are self-aligned and modulation-doped, is thereby enabled.

Various techniques are described to facilitate controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and viewing feedback received from a UAV. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided that allows a user to view a display window. The display window may indicate structures or portions of structures in which additional image data is desired by highlighting these portions within the display window. Static imagery may be leveraged to provide smooth and consistent feedback transitions. When a delay exists between the time the UAV sends live video data and the time it may be displayed in the GUI, the static images may be shown in the display window initially until the live video data may be displayed. The opacity of structures included in an initial display window may also transition to a greater opacity over time, with the live video eventually being displayed.
