Researchers ‘nanoweld’ by applying light to aligned nanorods in solid materials

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a way to melt or «weld» specific portions of polymers by embedding aligned nanoparticles within the materials. Their technique, which melts fibers along a chosen direction within a material, may lead to stronger, more resilient nanofibers and materials.
