This week, the team shared what they believe is the world's most electrically conductive organic molecule. Their discovery, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, opens up new possibilities for constructing smaller, more powerful computing devices at the molecular scale. Even better, the molecule is composed of chemical elements found in nature—mostly carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen.

 

"So far, there is no molecular material that allows electrons to go across it without significant loss of conductivity," Wang said. "This work is the first demonstration that organic molecules can allow electrons to migrate across it without any energy loss over several tens of nanometers."

The testing and validation of their unique new molecule took more than two years.
