Note: Nanowires are just like normal electrical wires except for the fact that they are very small.  Like conventional wires, nanowires can be made from a variety of conductive and semi-conductive materials such as copper, silver, gold, iron, silicon, zinc oxide, and germanium.  Nanowires can also be made from carbon nanotubes.

Nanowires are made on a flat substrate of semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium. Nanowires are very tiny wires. They are made of metals such as silver, gold or iron.  A nanometer is measured as a spatial measurement of about 9-10 meters, which is mostly used in nanotechnology to make nano machines.

These tiny nanowires are created by nano-particles with diameters as small as nanometers.  Nanotechnology in the approximate dimensions of 1 to 100 nanometers, where only one phenomenon of its kind offers descriptive applications, is matter. Nanotechnology encompasses science, engineering and non-scale technology, imaging, measurement, design and manipulation of materials at this length scale. Due to nanotechnology, the speed of computers has increased compared to the past and the value of calculations has decreased.  Nanowires are made on a flat substrate of semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium.

Nanotechnology is at the approximate dimensions of 1 to 100 nanometers, where only one phenomenon of its kind offers descriptive applications, in the capacity of matter. Nanotechnology encompasses science, engineering and non-scale technology, imaging, measurement, design and manipulation of materials at this length scale. Due to nanotechnology, the speed of computers has increased compared to the past and the value of calculations has decreased.

Conclusion: 

Silicon nanowires are one of the best examples of semiconductor nanostructures that can be made as a single crystal with a diameter of 9 to 0 nm.
