Twinkle, twinkle little star : Directed self‐assembly of bioinorganic hybrid nanostars with a high protein surface area was achieved by encapsidating immobilized RNA on metal beads with a plant viral protein. The selectivity of RNA hybridization to oligodeoxynucleotides exposed on the gold allowed the simultaneous fabrication of star colloids with distinct predetermined arm‐length distributions in single‐batch processes.
