I like the grid idea. Getting an idea of the velocity would definitely help for future publications - given the low shutter velocities, however, I suspect you'll need some hefty error bars.
How do you make the nanorods?
When your paper comes out, post a link. I'd like to check it out.
I will sure post it. I make the nanorods using commercially available Anodize Aluminum templates from whatman. They come with pore size around 200 nm. I fill them up with a solution of the organic material and let it evaporate.
I meant 500....typo. Think of it in terms of crystalline unit cell packages stacked next to one another. The space between two face to face molecules is around 0.4 nm, divide 200 nm by 0.4 nm gives you 500 molecules...give or take

No yet...but it did get accepted for publication in "Advanced Materials" journal.
I am thinking of placing a grid behind the image and measuring how fast it whips!!

Robzeemob - where are you doing your work? Have you published yet?
Have you thought about ways to increase the temporal resolution? It'd be interesting to see exactly how fast the wires are moving.
Nice work!

ONLY 500 TO 530 MOLECULES ACROSS!!!

but in the description you say it's 3000 molecules thick.
which is correct?
