  2. Nanowire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanowire

    A nanowire is a nanostructure in the form of a wire with the diameter of the order of a nanometre (10 −9 m). More generally, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length.

  3. Vapor–liquid–solid method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid–solid_method

    The equilibrium vapor pressure of the catalyst over the liquid alloy must be small so that the droplet does not vaporize, shrink in volume (and therefore radius), and decrease the radius of the growing wire until, ultimately, growth is terminated. The catalyst must be inert (non-reacting) to the reaction products (during CVD nanowire growth).

    These nanowires form a mesh that absorbs up to twenty times its weight in hydrophobic liquids while rejecting water with its water repelling coating. Since the potassium manganese oxide is very stable even at high temperatures, the oil can be boiled off the nanowires and both the oil and the nanowires can then be reused. [37]

  5. Bacterial nanowires - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_Nanowires

    Bacterial nanowires vary from traditionally utilized silicon nanowires by showing an increased degree of biocompatibility. More research is needed, but the memristors may eventually be used to directly process biosensing signals , for neuromorphic computing and/or direct communication with biological neurons .

  6. Molecular wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_wire

    Most types of molecular wires are derived from organic molecules. One naturally occurring molecular wire is DNA.Prominent inorganic examples include polymeric materials such as Li 2 Mo 6 Se 6 [1] and Mo 6 S 9−x I x, [2] [3] [4] [Pd 4 (CO) 4 (OAc) 4 Pd(acac) 2], [5] and single-molecule extended metal atom chains (EMACs) which comprise strings of transition metal atoms directly bonded to each ...

    Nanowires and nanotubes: The elastic moduli of some nanowires namely lead and silver, decrease with increasing diameter. This has been associated with surface stress, oxidation layer, and surface roughness. [62] However, the elastic behavior of ZnO nanowires does not get affected by surface effects but their fracture properties do.

  8. Nanocircuitry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocircuitry

    Nanowires have been made from carbon nanotubes for a few years. Until a few years ago, transistors and nanowires were put together to produce the circuit. However, scientists have been able to produce a nanowire with transistors in it.

  9. Nanobiotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobiotechnology

    The nanowires have a range of advantages over silicon nanowires and the memristors may be used to directly process biosensing signals, for neuromorphic computing (see also: wetware computer) and/or direct communication with biological neurons.
