Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have
discovered a way to make self-assembled nanowires of transition
metal chalcogenides at scale using chemical vapor deposition. By
changing the substrate where the wires form, they can tune how
these wires are arranged, from aligned configurations of atomically
thin sheets to random networks of bundles. This paves the way to
industrial deployment in next-gen industrial electronics, including
energy harvesting, and transparent, efficient, even flexible
devices.
