Abstract
The construction of nanometer-scale electronic devices is an emerging and promising interdisciplinary field. Nanoelectronic devices may reduce size limits in integrated circuits and also function as miniature chemical detectors.1 Nanowire connections are essential components of nanoelectronic devices. A recently developed method for creating nanowires is to deposit metal onto a DNA template. Because DNA can be manipulated into specific shapes and surface patterns, DNA templates are particularly appealing for nanowire formation.2
