title: DNA-assisted "double-templating" approach for the construction of hollow meshed inorganic nanoshells.
abstract: A "double-templating" approach was elaborated to produce meshed nanoshells made of semiconductor material in a two-step process. First, DNA adsorption is templated by spherical nanobeads, and second, DNA is mineralized by an inorganic material (CdS). Dissolution of the core beads leaves nanometer-size shells, the surface structure of which represents a mineralized network of DNAs. This method demonstrates the opportunity to metalize an arbitrary three-dimensional template by depositing a network of nanowires.
