A rendering of a nanoscopically thin film of P3HT, a polymer whose lightweight flexibility and ability to conduct electricity has positioned it as a candidate material for next-gen electronics. Nebraska researchers have found that melting and cooling the material can lead to the emergence of two layers with differing properties that could be tailored to various electronic devices.
