Golden viruses : The rodlike tobacco mosaic virus and citrate‐covered gold nanoparticles of 6‐nm diameter self‐assemble into a metal‐virus nanodumbbell. The gold nanoparticles selectively bind to the ends of the rods, and can be enlarged by electroless deposition to yield gold‐virus‐gold dumbbells (see picture).
