title: Nanowires: Building Blocks for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NanoScience and Technology)
author: Anqi Zhang
description: The book is well worth reading. It is clear, well-organized, and informative. It is well focused on NWs and provides an overview of the extensive literature on this topic.  It is helpful for researchers new to the field of NWs because it provides a useful list of many of the papers available on the subject. It is also useful to experts in the field because it stimulates ideas for new experiments. (Rosaria A. Puglisi, MRS Bulletin, Vol. 42, July, 2017)

  Toward imperceptible electronics that you cannot see
  or feel
  (Nanowerk News) Transparent electronics‐‐such as head‐up displays that allow pilots to read flight
  data while keeping their eyes ahead of them‐‐improve safety and allow users to access data while
  in transit.
  For healthcare applications, the electronics need to not only be cheap and straightforward to
  fabricate, but also sufficiently flexible to conform to skin. Silver nanowire networks meet these
  criteria. However, current methods of development create random nanowire alignment that's
  insufficient for advanced applications.
  In a study in Advanced Intelligent Systems ("Printable Transparent Microelectrodes toward
  Mechanically and Visually Imperceptible Electronics"), researchers from Osaka University have
  used high‐res
