New low-cost technique converts bulk alloys to oxide nanowires

New low-cost technique converts bulk alloys to oxide nanowires 01/24/2017 02:34 PM EST A simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials could dramatically lower the cost of producing the one-dimensional nanostructures. That could open the door for a broad range of uses in lightweight structural composites, advanced sensors, electronic devices--and thermally stable and strong battery membranes able to withstand temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.
