Lakshmi Sandhana While nanowires have been around for many years, scientists had no way of mixing different materials together within one wire. Until now. Setting the stage for integrating devices right into the wires themselves -- a development expected to further shrink electronic circuits -- three teams of scientists managed to grow single nanowires made from layers of different semiconductors earlier this year. The Swedish team was the first to report the ability to construct functional electronic devices using the technology, within wires just 20 billionths of a meter wide, this week at the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors in Edinburgh, Scotland....
