156.arc1.il-decatur1.fgi.net (204.212.222.30)The researchers have found a way to mate different materials along the length of a single nanowire using manufacturing techniques common in the semiconductor industry. With this ability, a single nanowire could be a complete device, incorporating transistor junctions, light-emitting diodes and even lasers.
The development takes electronics from the two-dimensional world of today's chips into the one-dimensional world of nanowires.
