...length. The unintentionally doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires are intrinsically n-type and complementary doping (both n-type and p-type doping) is essential for functional device applications. The recent breakthrough in the p-type doping in Wangs research group makes ZnO light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and injecti...Nanowire arrays can detect signals along individual neurons
