Harvard researchers have found new ways of assembling nanowires—ultra-thin wires that have the potential to revolutionize electronics—and a new application of the technology that may make over-the-counter cancer tests available in drugstores in the near future. Ritesh Agarwal, a former Harvard postdoctoral associate, published a paper this week in Optics Express on a new technique for assembling and arranging nanowires, which are smaller than any circuitry currently available, even on microchips.
