This network of diamondoid cages insulates the atoms, which form the core of the nanowire. The new material was produced by researchers at Stanford University and the U.S. Department of Energy (<em>Nature<\/em> <em>Materials<\/em>, December 26, 2016). \u201cWhat we have shown here is that we can make tiny, conductive wires of the smallest possible size that essentially assemble themselves,\u201d says Hao Yan, a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford and lead author of the paper. \u201cThe process is a simple, one-pot synthesis. You dump the ingredients together and you can get results in half an hour.
