Abstract
Conducting-polymer towers have been fabricated by a template-less meth od from homogeneous monomer solution using the scanning electrochemica l microscope (SECM). The features of the topogaphy feedback mode of th e SECM-in which the microelectrode is vibrated laterally (thin arrows in the Figure)-are described and the characterization of polypyrrole t owers (illustrated on the front cover) detailed. Uses in biosensors ar e foreseen.
