Ma kahi o nā hiʻohiʻona o nā nanomaterials maʻamau (ka hopena o ka honua, ka hopena dielectric confinement, ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a me ka quantum tunneling hopena, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe), ʻo nā nanomaterials gula he kūpaʻa kūʻokoʻa, conductivity, biocompatibility maikaʻi loa, supramolecular a me ka ʻike molekula, fluorescence a me nā waiwai ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ka mea e hōʻike iā lākou i nā manaʻo noiʻi ākea i nā kahua o nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, sensing and catalysis, biomolecular. lepili, biosensing, etc. Ma waena o nā ʻano mea like ʻole o nā nanomaterials gula, ua mahalo nui ʻia nā nanowires gula e nā mea noiʻi.
Loaʻa i nā nanowires gula nā mea maikaʻi o ka lakene hiʻohiʻona nui, kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a me ke ʻano hoʻomākaukau maʻalahi, a ua hōʻike i ka mana nui i nā ʻano o nā sensors, microelectronics, optical device, surface enhanced Raman, biological detection, etc.
