Biomolecular nanolithography
Biomimetic methods of organizing metal particles 1.5 nanometers in diameter.
Assembling the particles on a biopolymer template or scaffold stretched out on a surface.
Nanostructures are organized into well-defined chip architectures, such as lines and grids.
Process eliminates the current process chemicals that are harmful to the environment.
Nanoscale assemblies have been made that demonstrate stable, room-temperature electrical behavior that may be tolerant of defects and useful in building nanoscale circuits.
