Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time the formation of micron scale conductive silver (Ag) wires induced by capillary forces through scribed micro-cuts on a deoxyribonucleic acid–silver nanoparticle (DNA–AgNPs) film. The “writing” flexibility based on the physical re-arrangement of the particles may prove to be prominent towards the fabrication of conductive wires.
