Nanorods standing at attention! A self‐assembly technique based on convective and capillary forces was used for the direct fabrication of standing arrays of gold nanorods on lithographically predefined areas (see picture). The hexagonal close‐packed structure of gold nanorods creates an ideal substrate for surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
