Preface
Over hundreds of millions of years, biological systems have developed strategies to synthesize and assemble nanomaterials with a precision yet to be achieved by artificial synthetic methods. Using abundant elements in earth’s crust, these biological materials are formed under mild conditions, at near neutral pH and ambient temperatures. These natural synthetic pathways have been developed over many millennia, providing potential alternative strategies to synthesize next-generation nanomaterials. One example of utilization of biological synthetic pathways for controlled nanoarchitectures comes from iron oxide magnetic materials. The first finding of magnetic materials in organisms was from the magnetic teeth of mollusks. The presence of magnetite (Fe3O4)-based nanorods in the teeth provides excellent mechanical properties and h
