According to the physics website, scientists at Stanford and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new way to use diamonds to assemble the smallest diamonds into very fine wires with only three atoms in width. By choosing different types of atoms and combining them like LEGO bricks, this latest technology can potentially be used to make miniature wires with a wide range of applications, including fabric materials that can generate electricity, optoelectronic devices, and no conductive loss Of superconducting materials. The findings of the study were published in the recently published Journal of Natural Materials. Hao Yan, postdoctoral student at Stanford University in the United States, said: "Research shows that we can make the smallest diameter wire in the world and that they are self-assembling, a process that is very simple and takes only half an hour result." Nicholas Melosh, an associate professor at Stanford University who co-authored the study, pointed out that although there are other ways to self-assemble atomic structures, this technique is the first to demonstrate the ability to use a solid crystal with good electronic properties Nuclear manufacturing nano wire. This needle-shaped wire has a semiconductor core, called chalcogenide copper and sulfur conjugate, is surrounded by diamonds to form an insulating outer layer. Melasch said that the microstructure is very important, because the material exists only in one or two-dimensional form, as the atomic size of the points, lines or surfaces, which are different from the same mass-produced materials The property. This latest approach allows researchers to assemble and control these materials with atomic-level accuracy.
