Description:
Article Diamondoids are building blocks for nanostructured materials that can be used in molecular devices. Here, Randel et al. demonstrate an all-hydrocarbon single-molecule rectifier composed of a buckyball cage fused to a diamondoid, which outperforms either of its separate molecular constituents.
