Epsilon‐near‐zero behavior and an optically metallic response are predicted using electrodynamics simulations in superlattices comprising silver nanoparticles. Programmable DNA‐mediated assembly is used to synthesize both silver and binary silver–gold nanoparticle superlattices, which are characterized using small‐angle X‐ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and elemental mapping.
