Scientific American 50: Research Leader of the Year
November 12th, 2006 Comments Off
The crux of nanotechnology is the problem of self-assembly, getting uncooperative atoms to link and align themselves up in precise ways.

How fitting, then, that one of today’s most creative materials scientists, Angela Belcher of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has turned to nature for assistance. Belcher has pioneered the use of custom-evolved viruses in synthesizing nano-scale wires and arrays, fusing different research disciplines into something uniquely her own.
