The ability to construct specific, three-dimensional, nano-scale devices at the whim of a researcher has until this week been elusive. Because nanowires also have the ability to direct light, they have potential applications in “optoelectronic” devices, which use light instead of electricity to do computations. Agarwal, working with Professors David G. Grier ’84 at New York University and Hyman Professor of Chemistry Charles M. Lieber at Harvard, among others, found...
