All-photonic integrated circuits are promising platforms for future systems beyond the
limitation of Moore's law. Over the last several decades, one-dimensional (1D) nanowires …

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) have been studied extensively for over two decades for
their novel electronic, photonic, thermal, electrochemical and mechanical properties. This …

The discovery and continued development of the laser has revolutionized both science and
industry. The advent of miniaturized, semiconductor lasers has made this technology an …

The combination of nanotechnology and molecular biology has developed into an emerging
research area: nanobiotechnology. Magnetic nanoparticles are well-established …

Semiconductor nanowires, by definition, typically have cross-sectional dimensions that can
be tuned from 2–200 nm, with lengths spanning from hundreds of nanometres to millimetres …

In this perspective, we take a critical look at the research progress within the nanowire
community for the past decade. We discuss issues on the discovery of fundamentally new …
