[nanoPost] Nanowires for consumer applications

Company New Zealand

Over the next 20 years nanowires will become key components in many household products. Nanowires have already been demonstrated to be suitable active components in devices ranging from chemical sensors to readheads in hard drives to transistors and interconnects in household electronics.

The key problem for the nanotechnology industry is the positioning and contacting of nanowires so that they can be incorporated in useful products. At present painstaking and time consuming manipulation of nanowires is necessary in order to form devices / products.

The company has patented a self assembly technology which achieves contacted nanowires in a remarkably simple, inexpensive and effective way, and is poised to develop a wide range of products that will dramatically impact many industries, including household products.
