Researchers at the University of Alicante (UA) have developed a highly precise method for measuring distances at the nanometer scale at room temperature, opening up new avenues in molecular electronics research. The team, based at the UA Quantum Transport Laboratory (QT-Lab), has also identified gold nanocontacts just three atoms thick for the first time, significantly advancing current understanding of electronic transport.
