"carbon-based oligomer chains conducting electricity... long stretch of alternating single/ double-bond conductive oligomers/ polymers enable quantum delocalized electrons hopping between pi-conjugated regions...  more uniform energy levels (higher conductivity), nm-scale molecular wires with rigid fused regions separated by evenly spaced periodic twists... flexible substrates... cheaper thin-film organic light-emitting components in smartphones/ computers, individual molecular wire biocompatible sensors"
