Scientists Create Simple Networks of Organic Nanowires for Future Electronic and Optoelectronic Components

Swiss and German materials scientists have created simple networks of organic nanowires for future electronic and optoelectronic components. The successful approach synthesises the complex and incredibly thin nanowire structures, and joins them to electrically conducting links (essentially creating an electronic circuit).
