Copper nanowires enable bendable displays and solar cells; Pin-like copper structures self-assemble in solution: "ScienceDaily (June 2, 2010) — A team of Duke University chemists has perfected a simple way to make tiny copper nanowires in quantity. The cheap conductors are small enough to be transparent, making them ideal for thin-film solar cells, flat-screen TVs and computers, and flexible displays."
