Photos and text by Galina Strukova and Gennady Strukov. In a response to a recent call for photos, Galina Strukova sent us some great shots of the microworld of palladium-nickle alloy. You’re looking at pictures of real objects of the palladium-nickel alloy, the size of the samples ranging from tens of micrometers to 1-2 millimeters. They are produced via self-organization of nano-sized (several nanometer in diameter) wires growing on porous membranes under the action of electric current pulses. The authors…
