Real-time microscopy reveals how semiconductor nanowires grow, and how bismuth seeds can speed their formation

Scientists from the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester and Sun Yat-sen University have captured the growth of semiconducting tellurium nanostructures in liquid in real time, revealing how tiny seed particles form, grow into nanowires and compete for material as the structure...
