We report a nanowire growth that is highly unconventional: (1) nanowires can grow from substrate-bound seeds but cannot from colloidal seeds under otherwise the same conditions;(2) the nanowires grow from only one side of the seeds, with their diameter independent of the size of the seeds;and (3) vertically aligned ultrathin nanowires are obtained on substrates, using aqueous solution and ambient conditions.
