Abstract
Elongated molecules are stretched across a substrate by controlled fluid flow.
Claims50
A method of forming a nanowire, comprising:
- applying a nucleic acid-containing solution to a first substrate, the first substrate having a defined physical feature thereon;
- controllably flowing the nucleic acid-containing solution over the first substrate in a manner that promotes stretching of a nucleic acid molecule from the defined physical feature along the first substrate;
- and
- applying a conductive material to the stretched nucleic acid molecule to form a nanowire,
- wherein the defined physical feature is local to the stretched nucleic acid molecule.

A method of applying a nucleic acid to a surface, comprising:
- applying a nucleic acid-containing solution to a first substrate, the first substrate having a defined physical feature thereon, the defined physical feature comprising a nucleic acid anchor;
- and
- controllably flowing a deposition fluid over the first substrate in a manner that promotes stretching of a nucleic acid molecule from the defined physical feature along the first substrate,
- wherein the defined physical feature is local to the stretched nucleic acid molecule.
