Nano-scale trees created at Lund Institute of Technology
For the last few years scientists at the Nanometer Consortium at Lund University have been able to make nanowires, tiny wires just a few millionths of a millimeter "thick" and made of semiconducting material of great potential in the electronics industry. Now they have managed to produce "nanotrees," in fact tiny forests on the... view more... (2004-05-05)
A giant step toward tiny functional nanowires
Carving a telephone pole is easy if you have the right tools, say a power saw and some large chisels. And with some much tinier tools you could even carve a design into a paper clip if you wanted to. But shrink your sights down to the nanoscale, to a nanowire that is 1,000 times smaller than the diameter of a paper clip, and you find there are no... view more... (2005-07-01)
