The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Individual DNA molecules have been used as templates for the formation of conducting nanowires. Both binary compound and molecular-based materials have been prepared with this method. The nanowires are electrically conducting as confirmed by IN measurements of single-wire two-terminal devices. Polymer-based nanowires are shown to spontaneously aggregate over time to form nanoropes.
