Atomic-scale nanowires can now be produced at scale
Dec 24, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered a way to make self-assembled nanowires of transition metal chalcogenides at scale using chemical vapor deposition. By changing the substrate where the wires form, they can tune how these wires are arranged, from aligned configurations of atomically thin...
