Nanowires replace Newton’s famous glass prism

We have designed an ultra-miniaturised device that could image single cells without the need for a microscope or make chemical fingerprint analysis possible from within a smartphone camera. This work has been published in Science as "Single-nanowire spectrometers". (DOI: 10.1126/science.aax8814)
