Diamond‐like structures with micrometer‐size periodicity have been fabricated by means of nanorobotic manipulation of microspheres (see cover). The technique enables the preparation of macroporous lattices, and opens the way to controllable formation of a wide variety of microstructures and thus provides a new route to the study of novel lattices with photonic properties. The Figure shows a “diamond” lattice made of 0.9 μm silica spheres.
