Researchers have synthesized Nanowires made of a single molecule of oligothiophene up to 10 nanometers in length. By forcing the molecular chain to adopt a planar conformation, they were able to significantly its electrical conductivity.The findings may allow for a new generation of inexpensive high-tech devices, including smartphone screens and photovoltaics.
Carbon-based polymers, which are long molecular chains made of repeating units, can be found everywhere, from the rubber in the soles of your shoes to the proteins that make up your body...
