One-dimensional nanowires are expected to have applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and biotechnology. Now Song Jin and co-workers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have shed new light on the growth of nanowires from crystals by producing whole forests of tiny lead sulphide structures resembling pine trees.
