Nanowires belong to a growing family of nano-objects, which also includes nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanorods and more. As immediately suggested by their name, nanowires have diameters in the nanometer range. Like all wires, nanowires can serve as electrodes or interconnects between micro- & nanoelectronic devices. Additionally their dimensions are on the same scale as biomolecules, which unveils exciting possibilities for their interaction with biological species, such as cells, antibodies, DNA and other proteins. When these properties of nanowires are combined, their potential seems immense. Nanowires are versatile objects, which are increasingly awaking interest for applications in the fields of electrochemical biosensing, bioelectronics and nanoelectronics. |
