Jake Fontana and co‐workers develop a self‐assembly approach to produce large quantities of infrared plasmonic nanoantennas with widely tunable absorption peaks in article number 1700335 , potentially enabling game‐changing infrared nanotechnologies. The nanoantennas are created by “gluing” small aspect ratio gold nanorods together end to end with molecular linkers forming linear chains and “welding” the chains together upon exposure to femtosecond laser pulses.
