A simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials could dramatically lower the cost of producing the one-dimensional nanostructures. That could open the door for a broad range of uses in lightweight structural composites, advanced sensors, electronic devices -- and thermally stable and strong battery membranes able to withstand temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.
