The researchers, led by Seung-Wuk Lee, a bioengineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley, used the technique to make structured films. “We want to mimic nature and create many different types of functional structures with a very simple building block,” Lee says. This work is part of a broader effort to make new types of materials using viruses as microscopic building blocks. New Software System for Realistically Adding Objects Into Photos.
