An exceptionally effective and versatile method for the reconfigurable self‐assembly of gold nanorods is presented by Torsten Hegmann and co‐workers on page 1393 . Nematic‐ and smectic‐type self‐organization of gold nanorods with an aspect ratio of around four is provided by the functionalization with a nematogenic liquid crystal ligand in either an end‐on or a side‐on fashion. The final arrays of nanorods can be reoriented by the application of a magnetic field. Image design by T. Hegmann.
