This has led to a host of nanowire photonic devices including photodetectors, chemical and gas sensors, waveguides, LEDs, microcavity lasers, solar cells and nonlinear optical converters.

The types of nanowires can be broadly categorized into the following: Each type of nanowire has its unique set of properties and applications, driven by its material composition. This diversity allows ...

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 ...

Nanowire-based technology detects cancer-associated miRNAs in urine 2mo C ancer has a high death rate with delayed diagnosis of the disease being one of the main reasons for its fatality.

In this light, a team of researchers led by Professor Takao Yasui from Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), Japan, have focused their efforts on nanowire-based miRNA extraction and machine ...

The novel manufacturing technique was discussed in the study “Enhanced near infrared light trapping in Si solar cells with metal nanowire grid front electrodes,” published in Solar Energy ...
