Abstract: Recent advances in nanowire research emphasize on its promising applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, nanomedicine, and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Even with many advances, the joining of nanowires has become a critical issue for future device miniaturization and integration. With the help of in situ manipulation, directed assembly and self-assembly, much progress has been made towards joining of nanowires such as welding, soldering, fastener materials, and controlled localized deposition. These methods provide multiple choices for joining nanowires of various materials, at the mean time good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength can be achieved. This paper reviewed the state-of-the-art techniques for joining nanowires, and discussed the advantages and limitations of each method. The process and mechanism of these techniques are described in three categories: nanowire- nanowire joining, nanowire network joining, and nanowire-contact pad/electrode joining.

Mechanical Fracturing of Core-Shell Undercooled Metal Particles for Heat-Free Soldering.
TL;DR: The approach incorporates gentle etching and/or fracturing of outer oxide-acetate layers through mechanical stressing or shearing, thus initiating a cascade entailing fluid flow with concomitant deformation, combination/alloying, shaping, and solidification, enabling formation of complex shapes and joining at the meso- and micro-scale at ambient conditions without heat or electricity.
