Highly tunable biotemplating methods expand options for nanostructure synthesis
CamBio uses microtubules, which are protein structures inside cells. The silver nanoparticle chains synthesized along microtubules extending throughout the cell interior could be observed using electron microscopy, indicating that they can be used as SERS substrates.

Light-driven methods enable molecular adaptations not possible with other methods.
Schematic illustration of self-assembly of cyclodextrin-azobenzene complex under the action of darkness and light. The circles next to the complex structures represent the relative abundance of each complex in the dark (black, equilibrium distribution) and under visible light illumination at a wavelength of 453 nm (yellow).
