Organic single‐crystal circuits with versatile functions, such as inverters, NOR, and NAND gate, can be assembled by nanomechanical manipulation of nanowires of CuPc, F 16 CuPc and SnO 2 :Sb, report Thomas Bjornholm, Wenping Hu, and co‐workers on p. 4234 . The circuits show ultralow power consumption (40 pW per logic gate) and high voltage gain. In combination with generic “bottom‐up” assembly methods developed for nanowires, this opens new opportunities in organic nanoelectronics and for highly sophisiticated integrated logic circuits
