Nanowire sensors are a type of nanoscale device that can detect a wide range of parameters, such as physical, chemical, and biological. These sensors are made up of nanowires, which are extremely thin wires made of metals, semiconductors, and other materials. These nanowires are extremely small, typically only a few nanometers in diameter. Nanowire sensors are able to detect a wide range of parameters due to their small size and the fact that the nanowires are very sensitive to changes in their environment. For example, a nanowire sensor can detect minute changes in temperature or pressure, making them ideal for use in medical and industrial applications. Additionally, nanowire sensors can be used to detect a wide range of chemical and biological substances, such as proteins, enzymes, and DNA. Nanowire sensors also have the advantage of being able to be integrated with other nanoscale devices, such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). This makes them ideal for use in micro-sensing and miniaturization of devices. Additionally, nanowire sensors can be fabricated using a variety of materials, such as metals, semiconductors, and polymers, allowing them to be used in a variety of applications.
In 1964 Wagner and Ellis presented the first paper on fabrication of micron-scale semiconductor whiskers. Our group was one of the first to apply their ideas in the late 1990’s to realise nanowires…
