Sightless mice, monkey see infrared with tellurium-powered artificial retinas, bringing scientists closer to treating ...

Proving that batteries have a little juice left in them yet, researchers at Rice University have built a rechargeable battery inside a single nanowire that's 150nm (0.15 micron) in diameter.

With the increasing waste heat production by today’s electronics in ever smaller spaces, drawing this heat away quickly enough to prevent thermal throttling or damage is a major concern.

Nanowire networks are made up of tiny wires that are just billionths of a metre in diameter. The wires arrange themselves into patterns reminiscent of the children's game 'Pick Up Sticks ...

In the new study, the researchers have demonstrated that the photon and plasmon nanowire waveguides can be coupled in the longitudinal direction; that is, along the direction of the beams.

Nanowire networks mimic the networked structure of the human brain. But can they learn and remember like a human brain can? New research indicates they can. The brain’s powerful ability to ...

Exciting research continues with a new focus on nanowire lasers because of their great potential in the field of optoelectronics. In this Review, we explore the latest advancements in the ...

Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, they found that the spatial confinement along the radius of a nanowire resulted in bending of the band structure of the material. Since it is only in recent years ...

Researchers at IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, NY, have demonstrated a new way to convert electricity into light in nanowire-based light-emitting devices (LEDs). The nanowire LEDs could ...

It should even be possible to design nanowire photodetectors for specific colors. Cesare Soci, one of two primary authors on the Nano Letters paper and a postdoctoral researcher in the Deli Wang ...

Previously, we have shown that subwavelength dielectric nanowire waveguides can efficiently shuttle ultraviolet and visible light in air and fluidic media 23,24. Nanowires are promising for ...
