Organic semiconductors are very promising candidates as starting materials for the manufacture of cheap, large area and flexible electronic components such as transistors, diodes and sensors on a scale ranging from micro to nano. A condition for success in achieving this goal is the ability to join components together with electrically conducting links - in other words, to create an electronic circuit. European scientists have developed a new method which allows them to create simple networks of organic nanowires.
