Molding of Nanowires Spurs Unanticipated Phases

Sometimes to make big breakthroughs, you have to start very small. One way that scientists can get the most out of certain quantum materials is by fabricating nanoscale structures that generate new properties at the material’s surfaces and edges. Cornell researchers used the relatively straightforward process of thermomechanical nanomolding to create single-crystalline nanowires that can enable...
