Manufacture and testing of nanometre scale supramolecular interconnect technology using DNA templated semiconductor nanowires

This work describes the production and testing of nano-scale supramolecular interconnects or nanowires. That is, wire-like strands buih from individual molecules with a diameter in the range of 2 - 50nm. The nanowires used in this work are made up of semiconductor materials templated to a DNA backbo...
