Berkeley Scientists Develop Self-Assembling Nanorods
First time accepted submitter techgeek0279 writes "Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods to self-assemble into one-, two- and even three-dimensional macroscopic structures."
I've been turning a nanorod into a three dimensional structure for years.
Haven't yet worked out how to make it visible to the naked eye, though.
