Pillars for Energy! Nanostructured Carbon Pillars: This 3-Dimensional nanostructured hierarchical network in carbon is the ultimate route to efficient energy storage! Imaged at the cross-sectional site of a nano-patterned film using Scanning Electron Microscope. What you see are the focussed and out-of-focus pillars at a micron scale, which creates an amazing electronic graph!
