Researchers have now shown that a single nanowire can produce power by harvesting mechanical energy. As the sizes of sensor networks and mobile devices shrink toward the microscale, and even ...

However, although the efficiency and durability of harvesting materials such as piezoelectric nanowires have steadily improved, the voltage and power produced by a single nanowire are insufficient ...

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 ...

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.

V. Mourik et al. found a quasiparticle version by constructing a very thin wire—a nanowire—of semiconductor material and connected it to a superconductor. The specific electronic properties of ...

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.

Scientists have demonstrated nanowire networks can exhibit both short- and long-term memory like the human brain. An international team led by scientists at the University of Sydney has ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220021 considers whether nanowire LEDs can be the ultimate light engine for AR and VR displays. High resolution density ...

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 ...

Subscribe for FREE Nanowire networks are a type of nanotechnology typically made from tiny, highly conductive silver wires that are invisible to the naked eye, covered in a plastic material, which are ...

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 ...
