A new “Plateau-Rayleigh” crystal growth technique can be used to precisely build up periodic shells of nanomaterials on 1D semiconducting nanowires. The new technique, developed by researchers at Harvard University in the US, Korea University in Seoul and Kyung Hee University in Gyeonggi-do, both in the Republic of Korea, could be important for controlling the morphology and composition of crystals at the nanoscale in future electronics and optoelectronics devices…….
