      Alan MacDiarmid, Hideki Shirakawa, and Alan Heeger won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2001 for their work on plastic polymers that can conduct electricity. This lecture, given by MacDiarmid at Ihwa Yŏja Taehakkyo (Ewha Womans University) is the same lecture he gave upon winning the Nobel Prize, although leaving out some of the more technical details. MacDiarmid speaks in English and real-time translation into Korean is provided.
