Sentences with phrase «individual nanowires»

With our chip, which can electrically as well as chemically interface with neurons, we can individually address individual nanowires or nanowire bundles that are penetrating the cells so that we can record from individual cells.

«Before we can put this discovery to use and make an actual device, we have many more studies to do, including determining how to separate out the individual nanowires, and overcoming technical challenges to manufacturing and mass production,» Kim said.

Each individual nanowire is a semiconductor, which means that electric current moving through the wire can be switched on and off, Kim said.

Not exact matches

Previously it has been shown that the chirality can be manipulated by applying magnetic fields to complicated nanowire geometries, but the use of magnetic fields is wasteful of energy and limits the ability to address individual domain walls selectively.

In addition, the material is highly flexible and could be woven into fabrics, enabling wearable forms; individual niobium nanowires are just 140 nanometers in diameter — 140 billionths of a meter across, or about one - thousandth the width of a human hair.

«It was led by a group in mechanical engineering who had discovered a way to manipulate individual nanoparticles and nanowires.
