Carbon-Silicon Nanowire Molecular Model Kit
The image below shows our represention of a carbon or silicon nanowire. It is essentially a single walled nanotube
but we built it with fewer cells to make it thinner for a higher aspect ratio. The model as shown is 2.5m (~8ft) long & 65mm (~2.75") diameter & comes
with 1200 "Minit" atoms & 1800 flexible white bonds. We had to break it into 3 sections to fit it into the picture: an interesting conversation piece
at the very least and if nanotech doesn't work out, you can always try physics & use it for string theory.
