Insulating a molecular wire with a double helix wrapper
Abstract:
Chemists in Germany have invented an elegant way of insulating a molecular wire with a double helix wrapper. Researchers led by John Gladysz at the University of Erlangen synthesised molecular 'beanpoles' - where tethered carbon chains snake spontaneously around the central carbon wire, like runner bean plants twining around their supporting pole.
