3D nanostructure (IMAGE)
Caption
Scientists used a new, universal method to create a variety of 3D metallic and semiconductor nanostructures, including this structure revealed by an electron microscope. The scale bar represents one micrometer. The superimposed graphics convey that the researchers combined multiple techniques to layer silicon dioxide, then alumina-doped zinc oxide, and finally platinum on top of a DNA "scaffolding." This complex structure represents new possibilities for advanced manufacturing at small scales.
