In one embodiment of the present invention, a microscale or sub-microscale signal line, interconnected with one set of parallel nanowires of a nanowire crossbar, serves as a multiplexer. The multiplexer is used to detect the conductivity state of a nanowire junction within the nanowire crossbar. In one method embodiment of the present invention, a first signal is output to the two nanowires interconnected by the nanowire junction, while a second signal is output to the remaining nanowires of the nanowire crossbar. Then, the second signal is output to the two nanowires interconnected by the nanowire junction, while the first signal is output to the remaining nanowires of the nanowire crossbar. The resulting signal detected on the multiplexer is reflective of the conductivity state of the nanowire junction.
