A team of scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, has succeeded for the first time in producing regularly ordered planar polymers that form a kind of molecular carpet on a nanometer scale. The regular structure of the two-dimensional polymer, each bright spot corresponds to a monomer molecule (Empa / ETH Zürich) The research group, led...
