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 ...

The team manufactured 4-mm-wide cylindrical targets using a mold and silver nanowires. "We froze the nanowires suspended in solution in the mold, then applied a supercritical drying process to ...

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 ...

Rongrui He and Peidong Yang have reported giant uniaxial piezoresistance in p-type silicon nanowires that is almost two orders of magnitude larger than that found in bulk silicon 1. Here ...

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.
