The fabrication of high‐energy Al/CuO nano‐composites by nanoparticle DNA‐directed assembly is reported by Aurélien Bancaud, Carole Rossi, and co‐workers on page 323 . The complementarity of the strands attached to the Al and CuO nanoparticles enables the assembly of micrometer‐sized aggregates, which release heat upon thermal actuation, to be directed. The actuation temperature of 410 °C of these materials is among the lowest reported. The image shows an artistic view of Al/CuO nanocomposite fabrication through DNA‐directed assembly.
