In a general sense, waste heat is everywhere: the heat your car engine generates, for example. One barrier is that the nanowire is too small to be compatible with chip-manufacturing processes. While that is still much thinner than a sheet of paper, it’s compatible with chip-manufacturing rules. That heat normally dissipates.
