Abstract
Method for synthesizing metal oxide nanocrystals. The method includes forming a precursor solution including the metal oxide cation and introducing a selected metal oxide binding virus into the solution. Electrical pulses are generated across the solution whereby highly crystalline nanowires are formed.
