When they measured the electrical properties of these nanowires, the researchers found that forcing the ribbon-like chains to be flat significantly improved their conductivity compared with a twisted conformation. The findings may allow for a new generation of inexpensive high-tech devices, including smartphone screens and photovoltaics.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-06-plot-straightening-single-molecule-conductors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Plot twist: Straightening single-molecule conductors improves their performance<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team at Osaka University has created single-molecule nanowires, complete with an insulation layer, up to 10 nanometers in length.
