Nanowires are potential building blocks for nanoscale devices. Manipulation of nanowires in suspension has been a formidable problem. Using ac electric fields applied to strategically designed microelectrodes, nanowires in suspension can be driven to align, to chain, to accelerate in directions parallel and perpendicular to its orientation, to concentrate onto designated places, and to disperse in a controlled manner with high efficiency despite an extremely low Reynolds number at the level of
