1D subnanomaterials (SNMs), encompassing nanowires and nanobelts with a diameter or thickness approximate to the size of a single unit cell, possess the inherent functionality of inorganic materials, polymer-analogue properties, intrinsic order, and multilevel interactions. These distinctive characteristics establish 1D SNMs as highly processable building blocks, offering significant advantages for the fabrication of advanced materials, including polarization materials, organogels, photothermal conversion devices, fluorescent materials, stimuli-responsive platforms, and catalysis. This paper summarizes assembly methods, including self-assembly, wet-spinning, electrospinning, directional coating, freezing-casting and Langmuir-Blodgett technique, which facilitate the integration of 1D SNMs into free-standing fibers, films, and 3D assemblies without polymeric additives.

Semiconductor nanowires can enhance the signal of fluorescent molecules, thus significantly improving the limits of fluorescence detection in optical biosensing. In this work, we explore how the sensitivity can further be enhanced through "digital" detection of adequately spaced vertically aligned nanowires, employing single-emitter localization methods, and bright-field microscopy. Additionally, we introduce a systematic analysis pipeline aimed at harnessing this digital detection capability and evaluate its impact on detection sensitivity.

This study found that plasmonic hotspots (HSs) between silver nanoparticles (NPs) and silver nanowires (NWs) generated two-photon excited emissions, including hyper-Rayleigh, hyper-Raman, and two-photon fluorescence of dye molecules with continuous-wave (CW) near-infrared (NIR) laser excitation. A comparison between experimental results and electromagnetic (EM) calculations revealed that a large EM enhancement factor (FR) at the HS appears in the visible to NIR regions owing to EM coupling between localized plasmons of the NP and surface plasmons of the NW. This ultrabroad resonance of the coupled plasmons enables the observation of two-photon-excited emissions with CW laser excitation.

Integration of semiconductor nanowires is critical for developing scalable and versatile nanodevices, but challenges remain in tailoring optical emission, forming reliable p-n junctions, and ensuring consistent nanoscale interconnection. Here, we investigate GaO/SnO multiwire architectures using synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL), X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), and first-principles simulations. We map dopant distribution, analyze nanoscale optical responses, and determine dopant atomic coordination.

As an important component of the tumor microenvironment, the extracellular matrix (ECM) generally undergoes extensive remodeling, acting as a shield to block drug delivery and immune recognition. Currently, ECM-clearing strategies for tumor treatment still face challenges. In this work, a type of europium metal-organic nanowire was prepared for targeting the highly expressed sialic acid (SA) on glycoproteins within the ECM.
