A bioinspired approach to the fabrication of nanostructured functional devices is described. ZnO nanowires are formed by self‐assembly of nanosized ZnO building blocks controlled by tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) templates at nearly ambient conditions. This process allows the integration of TMV/ZnO nanostructures into field‐effect transistors (FETs) with prestructured electrodes. The FETs operate as‐deposited, without further treatment.
