The development of molecular electronics is one of the current focuses of bottom‐up nanotechnology. DNA has been the building block for nanostructures with a variety of applications, and its use has been extended to the formation of conducting nanowires. The one‐dimensional silver/DNA hybrid arrays reported recently are a step towards achieving longer DNA nanowires.
