Scientists at the Center for Nanoscale Materials, a U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science User Facility located at Argonne National Laboratory, and colleagues have discovered a DNA-like twisted crystal structure created with a germanium sulfide nanowire. Crystalline nanowires are usually in a rod-like shape and have potential applications in semiconductors and miniaturized optical and optoelectronic devices.
