Abstract
A key requirement in molecular electronics studies is the ability to measure the conductivity of a single molecule. But as Hipps explains in his Perspective, such measurements are often more about contacts than about molecular conductivity. Depending on the experimental setup, DNA behaves like a semiconductor, insulator, or metal. Cui et al. have designed a method that overcomes some of these problems, opening the door to systematic, reliable, and reproducible studies of the molecule-contact interface.
