Nanometre scale wires (about one thousandth the diameter of a human hair) of a silicon-carbon material (silicon carbide) are grown from tiny droplets of a liquid metal (Gallium) on a silicon surface
Physicists reveal first 'nanoflowers'
The Institute of Physics has released some of the most beautiful science images of the year so far, a collection of photomicrographs of tiny 'flowers' and 'trees' less than one thousandth the width of a human hair. The images are published in the Institute journal Nanotechnology.
Ghim Wei Ho, a PhD student studying nanotechnology at Cambridge University, has named some of her best photographs nanobouquet, nanotrees, and nanoflower.
