Nano wires have emerged as promising one-dimensional materials with which to construct various nanocircuits and nanosensors.How-ever,measuring the electrical properties of individual nanowires directly remains challenging because of their small size,thereby hindering the comprehensive understanding of nanowire-based device performance.A crucial factor in achieving reliable electrical characterization is establishing well-determined contact conditions between the nanowire sample and the electrodes,which becomes particularly difficult for soft nanowires.Introduced here is a novel technique for measuring the conductivity of an individual nanowire with the aid of automated nanomanipulation using an atomic force microscope.In this method,two nanowire segments cut from the same silver nanowire are posi-tioned onto a pair of gold electrodes,serving as flexible nanoprobes to establish controllable contact with the sample.By changing the contact points along the nanowire sample,conductivity measurements can be performed on different regions,thereby eliminating the influence of contact resistance by analyzing multiple current-voltage curves.Using this approach,the resistivity of a 100-nm-diameter silver nanowire is determined to be 3.49 × 10-8 Ω m.
