Led by Columbia Engineering, Researchers Build Longest, Highly Conductive Molecular Nanowire

sarah JonasResearch Results

Columbia researchers announced today that they have built a nanowire that is 2.6 nanometers long, shows an unusual increase in conductance as the wire length increases, and has quasi-metallic properties. Its excellent conductivity holds great promise for the field of molecular electronics, enabling electronic devices to become even tinier.
