DESCRIPTION:Nanowires” are filamentary crystals with diameters less than
  1000th that of a human hair. They exhibit host of extraordinary propertie
 s due to their one-dimensional geometry\, that\, if harnessed\, could help
  solve some of the most pressing problems facing society: energy security\
 , climate change and connectivity. Somewhat paradoxically\, the one-dimens
 ional geometry that confers these amazing properties also creates challeng
 es. How do you create something so small\, reproducibly? How can you measu
 re their electrical properties? And how can you integrate them into real-w
 orld electronics? In this talk I will discuss methods of “growing” the
 se nanowires from the bottom - up\, contact-free schemes for measuring the
  intriguing electrical properties of these nanowires\, and strategies for 
 integrating nanowires into electronic devices that possess either entirely
  new functionality\, or enhanced performance.
