Branch growth is directed along two, three, or four in-plane directions in vertically aligned nanowire arrays using vapor-liquid-solid glancing angle deposition (VLS-GLAD) flux engineering. In this work, a dynamically controlled collimated vapor flux guides branch placement during the self-catalyzed epitaxial growth of branched indium tin oxide nanowire arrays. The flux is positioned to grow branches on select nanowire facets, enabling fabrication of aligned nanotree arrays with L-, T-, or X-branching.

- Researchers created mono- and bis-N-oxides of a specific chemical compound related to 9-aza-anthrapyrazole using a gentle reagent called oxaziridine.
- Laboratory tests showed that the bis-oxide form acts as an inactive prodrug, meaning it doesn't do anything on its own.
- However, when exposed to low oxygen conditions (similar to what’s found in some tumors), the bis-oxide transforms into the active form of the drug, making it potentially useful for targeted cancer therapy.
