From displays to solar cells, the field of organic optoelectronics has come a long way over the past 50 years, but the realization of an electrically pumped organic laser remains elusive. The answer may lie with hybrid organic–inorganic materials called perovskites.

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.
