Ways of connecting molecular devices will be needed if the ideas of molecular electronics are ever to be realized. The potential of conducting polymer nanowires for this purpose is discussed and illustrated with the case of poly(3‐alkylthiophene), which can be made to connect two Pt wires by forming dendrites between them (see Figure).
