The coverage of Au surfaces with Au nanowires by linking them with DNA offers great prospects for the assembly of wire structures with particular connectivity. This work presents the first example of using DNA hybridization to control the assembly of micrometer‐size inorganic particles on surfaces. The Figure shows the optical microscopy image of Au nanowires modified with DNA.
