Graphene and carbon nanotubes have been considered as suitable replacements, but new research has identified a different possibility: nanowires ... that can be used for photodetector and display ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
