Nanoscale Materials Grow With The Flow

Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 01:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have shown that nanoscale, uniform lead islands on silicon are spontaneously and quickly created by unusually mobile atoms. The discovery of the "liquid-like" nanogrowth mechanism is promising for nanotechnology applications, which require fast, consistent, and efficient material growth for industrial-scale production.
