Silicon Nanowires

Silicon nanowires are tiny, thread-like structures made from silicon, often only a few nanometers in diameter—thousands of times thinner than a human hair. Due to their small size and unique properties, they can efficiently conduct electricity and respond to light, making them useful in advanced electronics, sensors, and solar cells. Their large surface area and high aspect ratio enable enhanced performance in various applications, including flexible devices and energy harvesting, while their nanoscale dimensions allow for innovations in miniaturization and speed in technology.
