Using DNA origami, in article number 1800273 , Tim Liedl and co‐workers demonstrate the assembly of molecularly designed rhombohedral crystalline lattices with unit cells providing large open spaces for co‐crystallization of guest components such as gold nanoparticles. Lattices like the ones shown here could act in future research as tunable photonic crystals operating at visible wavelengths. Cover Image by Christoph Hohmann, Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM).
