STM image of a Fe nanowire deposited on a molecular Cu3N network. The nanowires form in grooves in the network. Because the Fe atom occupation is asymmetric at the crests, the nanowires exhibit a minimum separation. See also Synopsis in Physics. [X.-D. Ma, D. I. Bazhanov, O. Fruchart, F. Yildiz, T.
