On/off switch : Template‐assisted step‐electrochemical growth is used to fabricate ionic–electronic conductors based on heteronanowire arrays. A two‐electrode configuration with a Ag/Ag 2 S heteronanowire array shows a reversible electrical switching behavior (see picture) that is attributed to controllable creation and dissolution of a Ag conducting nanobridge inside Ag 2 S wire segments.
