A bioinspired approach to the fabrication of nanostructured functional devices is described. ZnO nanowires are formed by self‐assembly of nanosized ZnO building blocks controlled by tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) templates at nearly ambient conditions. This process allows the integration of TMV/ZnO nanostructures into field‐effect transistors (FETs) with prestructured electrodes. The FETs operate as‐deposited, without further treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
