One of the biggest challenges in this research was finding a way to create long, slender gold nanowires. “Gold has poor ...

Nanowires are known for their exceptional physical properties, which are largely influenced by their nanoscale dimensions. These properties include enhanced electrical, thermal, and optical behaviors ...

Semiconductor nanowires, by definition, typically have cross-sectional dimensions that can be tuned from 2–200 nm, with lengths spanning from hundreds of nanometres to millimetres. These ...

Synthesis and fabrication of functional and hybrid nanowires and nanoparticles; Using self-assembly or directed assembly techniques to integrate these nano-building blocks into ordered 2D and 3D ...

Nanowires are ultrafine wires or linear arrays of dots, formed by self-assembly. They can be made from a wide range of materials. Semiconductor nanowires made of silicon, gallium nitride and indium ...

The scientists, led by Uttam Manna, sprayed a solution of silver nanowires on a piece of cotton textile and then coated it with a solution of chemicals that helped make a water-repelling layer.

In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research team has now introduced a novel, sustainable, electrocatalytic sterilization method based on electrodes covered with copper oxide nanowires.
