Researchers at IMDEA Nanociencia, Universidad Autónoma
de Madrid and Universidad Complutense de Madrid have presented a
new strategy to fabricate quasi-metallic 1-D polymers with atomic
precision, in collaboration with The Czech Academy of Science, EMPA
(Zürich, Switzerland) and RCATM (Olomouc, Czech Republic). This
investigation advances the possibility of designing stable organic
polymers with vanishing electronic bandgaps with applications that
include molecular optoelectronics and quantum information
technology.
