Capillary force assisted fabrication of DNA templated silver wires

Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time the formation of micron scale conductive silver (Ag) wires induced by capillary forces through scribed micro-cuts on a deoxyribonucleic acid–silver nanoparticle (DNA–AgNPs) film. The “writing” flexibility based on the physical re-arrangement of the particles may prove to be prominent towards the fabrication of conductive wires.
