Ring‐shaped DNA origami with defined diameters are designed and synthesized. Site‐specific functionalization with capture strands allows directed assembly of nanoparticles to form tailored sphere dimers for application as self‐thermophoretic nano swimmers. Electron microscopy confirms predefined size and structural integrity of the dimers. More details can be found in article number 1800775 by Andreas Heerwig, Michael Mertig, and co‐workers.
