Bionanotechnology has now become firmly established in its own right as one of the
principle and focused subdisciplines within nanotechnology.(1-10) Bionanotechnology can …

In nature, chemical conversions take place in a confined environment and are closely
geared to each other such that the product of one reaction is the substrate or catalyst of the …

The course of evolution on our planet has resulted in the appearance, diversification, and
proliferation of organisms capable of producing complex structures from hard inorganic …

Peptide sequences are known to recognize and bind different nanomaterial surfaces, which
has resulted in the screening and identification of hundreds of peptides with the ability to …

We report a virus-based scaffold for the synthesis of single-crystal ZnS, CdS, and
freestanding chemically ordered CoPt and FePt nanowires, with the means of modifying …

With their unique sequence‐specific self‐assembly and their substrate recognition
properties, peptides play critical roles in controlling the biomineralization of inorganic …

Semiconductor nanocrystals, which have unique optical and electronic properties, have
potential for applications in the emerging field of nanoelectronics. To produce nanocrystals …

Complex structures and morphologies in nature endow materials with unexpected
