Ting Xu, Kari Thorkelsson and Alexander Mastroianni of the Materials Sciences Division, and Peter Ercius of NCEM have developed a relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods to self-assemble into one-, two- and even three-dimensional macroscopic structures. This technique should enable more effective use of nanorods in solar cells, magnetic storage devices and sensors, and boost the electrical and mechanical properties of nanorod-polymer composites.
