Compare with this member of "genius" class of 2004

Angela Belcher is a materials scientist whose research opens new avenues for controlling inorganic chemical reactions. Rather than relying on traditional tools of physical chemistry, such as high temperature, pressure, or metallic catalysis, Belcher has devised a means to use genetically engineered viruses to serve as templates for the synthesis of submicroscopic conductors and semiconductors. As a graduate student, she demonstrated how natural proteins in abalone establish templates for the mineralization of calcium carbonates, the principal ingredient of chalk, to form its extremely hard shell. She followed these observations by engineering peptides that bind with great specificity to semiconductor alloys such as gallium arsenide. Belcher has demonstrated a proclivity for developing new techniques for manipulating systems that straddle the boundary of organic and inorganic chemistry at the molecular scale. In her most recent work, she has genetically modified viruses (strains that only attack bacteria and are harmless to humans) to interact with solutions of inorganic semiconductors, yielding self-assembling metal films and wires with diameters in the low tens of nanometers. The ability to control this self-assembly process may one day lead to the next generation of microelectronics or other nanoscale machines.
