Nano architecture - a prize-winning scanning electron microscope image by Chi Li, Yan Zhang, Pritesh Hiralal, Husnu Emrah Unalan, and Mark Mann in the Nokia photography competition at the department of engineering, University of Cambridge, UK. The nanostructure is made up of carbon nanotube and zinc oxide nanowires. There are two growth steps: firstly, vertical aligned carbon nanotubes were grown on Si substate; and secondly, zinc oxide nanowires were grown on the wall of the carbon nanotubes.
