For those of you who want more information, this research work has been published by Nano Letters under the name "ZnO Nanowire UV Photodetectors with High Internal Gain" (Volume 7, Issue 4, Pages ...

Vertical semiconductor nanowire arrays are a promising material for retinal prostheses, which could help restore the eyesight of people suffering from severe retinal diseases. These nanowires could ...

Using a nanowire substrate to anchor advanced photovoltaic materials, researchers are able to alleviate strains between materials that otherwise would shorten life spans for photovoltaic products.

Schematic diagram of vertical emitting lasing from ordered InGaAs/InP multi-quantum well nanowire arrays. Simultaneous lasing is demonstrated from one same NW array. Inset shows the vertical F-P ...

Illuminex Fabricates Silicon Nanowire Array Photovoltaic Device Date Announced: 20 Sep 2010 Angel-funded MIT spin-out is aiming to commercialize silicon-based photovoltaic nanowires. Illuminex, a ...

A group led by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has developed a technology to capture and release cell-free DNA (cfDNA) on nanowire surfaces from urine.

“Employing this method, a GaAs nanowire array solar cell with only around 1.3% areal coverage of the nanowires shows a photoconversion efficiency of around 7.7% under 1 Sun intensity [at ...

It consists of an array of 225 doped-silicon nanowires, each 30 nm wide and 200 nm tall, vertically linking the two platinum contact planes that form the source and drain of the transistor. Besides ...
