image: This image shows layer-by-layer growth of a (0006) layer of sapphire nanowire. Magnified views of the video frame images show structural evolutions of the LS (0001) interface with the onset of oxygen adsorption. This image relates to an article that appeared in the Oct. 22, 2010, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Sang Ho Oh of Pohang University of Science and Technology in Pohang, Korea, and colleagues is titled, "Oscillatory Mass Transport in Vapor-Liquid-Solid Growth of Sapphire Nanowires." view more
