It looks like an exotic metropolis on the bound of a epithelial duct . But this is really just a few micron across — it ’s a scanning negatron microscope image by Fatih Buyukserin . What you ’re seeing are polymers vex to a atomic number 14 mould full of beehive - like cells . This nano - urban center even has its own flowers made of wire .
These “ sunflowers ” are in reality nanowires arranged in a naturally - occurring form .
Wired ’s Aaron Rowe writes :
When S.K. Hark , a prof at the Chinese University of Hong Kong , appear at some [ nanowires ] under a scanning negatron microscope , he saw heyday . Unlike plants , their fertilizers were atomic number 31 and Au catalysts — which allowed them to develop to several microns in duration while exert a roughly 10 - micromillimeter diameter .
