Graphene-coated tungsten nanowires deliver unprecedented modulus and strength

Tungsten (W) nanowires have a wide range of chemical, electronic, and mechanical applications. However, the modulus and strength of traditional W nanowires are quite low, and how to improve their mechanical performance remains a challenge. Here, we describe a novel graphene-coated W nanowires that d...
