DNA nanotechnology allows for precise positioning of optically active materials in the sub‐nanometer regime. This is, in turn, driving new research into their near‐ and far‐field interactions, as discussed by Igor L. Medintz and co‐workers in their Review (article number 1900562). A fundamental understanding of these optical processes will help development of next generation photonic nanomaterials and processes. The cover image depicts a double‐stranded DNA wire displaying multiple copies of the same dye engaged in homoFRET interactions following laser excitation. [Figure designed by Divita Mathur.]
