Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have stretched a chain of gold ...

Researchers show that certain proteins can act as efficient electrical conductors. In fact, these tiny protein wires may have better conductance properties than similar nanowires composed of DNA, ...

Scientists in the field of molecular electronics have extensively explored how electrons travel through single molecules of DNA. They’ve shown that A and B configurations of DNA differ in ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...
