Earlier we introduced you special light-emitting nanofibers in the size of viruses and tiny bacteria that would surely light up the nano world. Now, another breakthrough in nanoscience discovered by Professor Zhong Lin Wang is a tiny device that can be.

One day, changes in body blood pressure can be monitored using 'nanowires!' A new class of components have been created using the piezoelectric effect in semi-conducting zinc oxide nanowires. These nanowires can detect forces as small as a few...
