Metal-organic frameworks: ready for electronics

08.12.2018
Scientists have observed unequivocally for the first time band-like electron transport in an organic based material, a metal organic framework. This semiconducting behavior, together with its cost-effective production, opens the path for employing metal organic frameworks as active materials in electronic devices.

Nanoplatform developed with three molecular imaging modalities for tumour diagnosis
