A method of making a sensor comprises substantially laterally growing at least one nanowire having at least two segments between two electrodes, whereby a junction or connection is formed between the at least two segments; and establishing a sensing material adjacent to the junction or connection, and adjacent to at least a portion of each of the at least two segments, wherein the sensing material has at least two states.

Sensor and method for making the same

A sensor includes at least two electrodes, and at least one nanowire extending substantially laterally between the electrodes. The at least one nanowire has at least two segments with a junction or connection formed therebetween. A sensing material changeable between at least two states is positioned adjacent to the junction or connection, and adjacent to at least a portion of each of the segments.

A nanowire device includes a nanowire formed between two surfaces, and a gap formed at a predetermined location in the nanowire.
