Self-assembling silica microwires
January 23, 2013 12:07 pm | by EurekAlert! | News | CommentsBy carefully controlling the shape of water droplets with an ultraviolet laser, researchers have found a way to coax silica nanoparticles to self-assemble into much more highly uniform silica wires. These hair-like slivers of silica could enable applications and technology not currently possible with comparatively bulky optical fiber.
