from IMNano Hosted by IMNano

LIT UPDATE - where we dissect a current science article and why it is important and relevant to the nano-field. In this episode, we look into work from Aso-sensei and colleagues from Osaka University, where they found a way to twist their molecules - know as oligothiophenes - in a way to make electrons travel fast!!
