Scientists have discovered how to align silver nanowires in a controlled manner with an electric field. Their technique offers a possible route to sculpting and writing on nanowires, an ability that will likely ... | |
 Scientists discover water is sticky on a small scale May 08, 2006 | User rating: 4.4 / 5 after 105 vote(s)
| No comments yet
When water vapor condenses in a nano-sized space between two surfaces, the liquid behaves more like solid ice than liquid water, even at room temperature. This solidification causes water to exert such a strong ... | |
