Hot Paper: Synthesizing coaxial nanocables

A core–multisheath SiC–SiO2–BN nanocable has been fabricated by a team of scientists at Harbin Institute of Technology, China. The team led by Guangwu Wen say the nanocable could potentially be used as a blue and ultraviolet emitter in harsh and demanding environments.
