(Phys.org) —By growing 2D nanosheets along the surface of a 1D nanowire,   
   scientists have synthesized a new 3D nanoscale heterostructure that they   
   call—for appropriate reasons—"shish kabobs." Due to the integration of the two   
   dimensionalities, the new    
   structures could have a wide variety of applications, such as for solar energy   
   conversion, energy storage, and photonics.
