Nanowires for cell based bio-sensing

Researchers at Department of Neuroscience and Pharmacology & Nano-science Center, University of Copenhagen, have demonstrated the low invasiveness of InAs NW arrays, which, combined with the unique physical properties of InAs, open up their potential for cellular investigations.

More details can be found in their recent paper in the journal Small Vol 7 (2011) 640, titled:
