“…In recent decades, metallic and semiconducting nanowires (NWs) have enabled investigations of a wide range of phenomena including Anderson localization, electron–electron interactions, and quantum-mechanical decoherence; 1–23 magnetism, including Aharonov–Bohm oscillations and the Kondo effect; 11,18,23–39 superconductivity, macroscopic quantum tunnelling, and Majorana bound states; 39–50 and low-frequency noise, random-telegraph noise, and universal conductance fluctuations. 51–77…”
