THE development of a new copolymer, combining sugar-based with oil-based mac-romolecules, makes it possible to design ultra-thin films capable of self-organization on a scale of just 5 nm. This opens up new horizons for increasing the capacity of hard discs and the speed of microprocessors. The result of a French-American collaboration spearheaded by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), published in ACS Nano, this work has led to the filing of two patents.
