"graphene nanoribbons lack ability to turn electricity on/ off making it hard to use for computer chips without complex modifications, overcome using single chain combining 2 different types of molecules: electron donors that want to give up electrons/ electron acceptors that want to take in electrons... pristine: built on gold surface in vacuum... organic/ flexible electronics in smart clothing, bioelectronic brain-machine interface, in vivo sensors, ultra-efficient thin-film PV with fine-tuned donor-acceptor sequences"
