This animation shows molecular building blocks joining the tip of a growing nanowire. Each block consists of a diamondoid -- the smallest possible bit of diamond -- attached to sulfur and copper atoms (yellow and brown spheres). Like LEGO blocks, they only fit together in certain ways that are determined by their size and shape. The copper and sulfur atoms form a conductive wire in the middle, and the diamondoids form an insulating outer shell. Credit: SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
