TL;DR: The synthesis of ultra-low-density three-dimensional macroassemblies of graphene sheets that exhibit high electrical conductivities and large internal surface areas are reported, making these materials viable candidates for use in energy storage, catalysis, and sensing applications.

TL;DR: This work reports the development of an electrode-free, continuously tunable coherent visible light source compatible with physiological environments, from individual potassium niobate (KNbO3) nanowires, and uses this tunable nanometric light source to implement a novel form of subwavelength microscopy, in which an infrared laser is used to optically trap and scan a nanowire over a sample.

TL;DR: The use of metal–organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) and appropriate substrate selection is demonstrated to control the crystallographic growth directions of high-density arrays of gallium nitride nanowires with distinct geometric and physical properties.

TL;DR: In this article, high-quality gallium nitride nanowires have been synthesized via metal-initiated metalorganic chemical vapor deposition for the first time, and excellent substrate coverage was observed for wires prepared on silicon, c-plane, and a-plane sapphire substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, an infrared single-beam optical trap is used to individually trap, transfer and assemble high-aspect-ratio semiconductor nanowires into arbitrary structures in a fluid environment.
