Unraveling the Electron Journey in Biological Nanowires
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org
Researchers have used computer simulations to study the movement of electrons through biological nanowires made of proteins. By manipulating variables such as the length and thickness of the nanowires, they discovered that electron transport depends on the motion of the proteins within the wire. Understanding how to optimize electron flow in biological nanowires is crucial for potential applications in connecting biological processes to conventional electronics.
