Abstract
A method for forming arrays of metal, alloy, semiconductor or magnetic nanoparticles is described. An embodiment of the method comprises placing a scaffold on a substrate, the scaffold comprising, for example, polynucleotides and/or polypeptides, and coupling the nanoparticles to the scaffold. Methods of producing arrays in predetermined patterns and electronic devices that incorporate such patterned arrays are also described.
