A great GaIn : Micrometer‐sized conformal electrodes formed from the title compound are shown to be ideal for measuring the electrical properties of self‐assembled monolayers. The image shows the bifurcation of the EGaIn between a metal needle and an Ag surface (not shown) at the point indicated by the two white arrows. The portion above the arrows will form the EGaIn electrode.
