FSU Professor Kasif Teker and his student, Joseph Oxenham, spent the summer of 2009 working with the tiniest of tubes in FSU’s Nanotechnology Lab, and the result is a new synthesis technique for making silicon carbide nanowires. These microscopic structures have dozens of uses in technology and industry, and may even shed some light, since they glow bluish-green.
Read about this achievement in FSU’s student newspaper, The Bottom Line.
