The Weird World of Nanowires - Richard Hobbs

This false-coloured scanning electron microscope image depicts a mesh of glass coated germanium nanowires. The crystalline germanium nanowires have an average diameter of 7 nm (~20 atoms across). The wires were grown by self-assembly from molecular precursors and are of interest for next-generation materials for the microelectronics industry.

Richard worked with Prof Justin Holmes, CRANN
