DNA Directs Nanowire Assembly and Growth

Brown University Engineers are using DNA To Direct Nanowire Assembly DNA used to grow nanowires like this one.jpg And Growth ScienceDaily reported today that research has “harnessed the coding power of DNA to create zinc oxide nanowires on top of carbon nanotube tips. The feat, detailed in the journal Nanotechnology, marks the first time that DNA has been used to direct the assembly and growth of complex nanowires.”


Jimmy Xu researchers used DNA to create zinc oxide nanowires like the one pictured here ... on the tips of carbon nanotubes.

The nanowires can “create and detect light and, with mechanical pressure, generate electricity. The wires’ optical and electrical properties would allow for a range of applications, from medical diagnostics and security sensors to fiber optical networks and computer circuits.”

They did it! Watch for lightning-speed progress in robotic creations now.... This breakthrough research sparks a new generation of nanomaterials  because it provides a way to convey information from human DNA to technology's clone of that life. Do you see this new breakthrough impacting your workplace…?
