Zinc Whiskers growing on a "hot dip galvanized" steel pipe. Whiskers extend to lengths in excess of 1-cm. To learn more about zinc whiskers and other metal whiskers and their potential impact on electronic circuits, visit: http://nepp.nasa.gov/whisker
@L00NGB00W One level up, this property could be used to extract zinc from alloys that may be cost prohibitive otherwise

That's fascinating.
If we could harness this property, perhaps we could use it to grow nanoscale structures, such as neural nets or some such..
