A
team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, headed by
Srikanth Singamaneni, PhD, assistant professor of mechanical engineering
& materials science, unexpectedly found the mechanism by which tiny
single molecules spontaneously grow into centimeter-long microtubes by
leaving a dish for a different experiment in the refrigerator. This novel
approach of making nano- and microstructures and devices is expected to
have numerous applications in electronics, optics and biomedical
applications.
