On the top row are two images of a nanomesh bilayer of PDMS cylinders in which the top layer is perpendicular to the complex orientation of the bottom layer. The bottom images show well-ordered nanomesh patterns of PDMS cylinders. The images on the right show zoomed-in views of the images on the left. Courtesy of the researchers

Polymer nanowires that assemble in perpendicular layers could offer route to tinier chip components. « more »
