Living cells inside the body could be placed under surveillance--their location and migration noninvasively tracked in real time over many days--using a new method developed by researchers at KAUST.

Hydrogen production through proton exchange membrane water electrolysis is a crucial step toward sustainable energy solutions. However, the development of cost-effective and efficient electrocatalysts ...

A recent article in Nature Communications describes the direct observation of core–shell metallic nanowire growth using advanced imaging techniques. These methods enable visualization of atomic-scale ...

A more accurate model of how dopant atoms affect core–shell nanowires shows that doping the shell is promising for nanoelectronic devices. Nanowires show promise for the construction of ...

Nanowires promise to make LEDs more colorful and solar cells more efficient, in addition to speeding up computers. That is, provided that the tiny semiconductors convert electric energy into light, ...

Nanowires have a unique property: These ultra-thin wires can sustain very high elastic strains without damaging the crystal structure of the material. A team of researchers has now succeeded in ...

What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

Semiconductor nanowires are primarily nanosystems with tunable 2-200 nm cross-sectional dimensions and lengths ranging from a few hundred nanometers to several micrometers. These nanowires can confine ...
