This project explores the use of bio-templated electronic materials, specifically utilizing M13 phage as a programmable template for creating electronic, optical, and magnetic devices. By harnessing molecular recognition and the parallelism of biological processes, we propose a robust synthesis of electronic materials at room temperature using non-toxic precursors. The approach offers potential societal benefits, such as the manufacture of cheaper and multifunctional devices and materials through environmentally friendly techniques. Our work could revolutionize how we produce electronic systems.
