  text: Understanding and tuning charge transport over a single molecule is a fundamental
    topic in molecular electronics. Single-molecule junctions composed of individual
    molecules attached to two electrodes are the most common components built for
    single-molecule charge transport studies. During the past two decades, rapid technical
    and theoretical advances in single-molecule junctions have increased our understanding
    of the conductance properties and functions of molecular devices. In this perspective
    article, we introduce the basic principles of charge transport in single-molecule
    junctions, then give an overview of recent progress in modulating single-molecule
    transport through external stimuli such as electric field and potential, light,
    mechanical force, heat, and chemical environment. Lastly, we discuss challenges
    and offer views on future developments in molecular electronics.
