Organics go hybrid

A Correction to this article was published on 01 February 2017

This article has been updated

    After publication of this Feature, in the following sentence 'carbohydrate chain' should have been 'conjugated hydrocarbon chain', thus it should have read "The excitement all started with polyacetylene (CH)x, the simplest conjugated hydrocarbon chain in trans and cis isomers." Corrected in the online versions.
