Sowing seeds to grow wires : A new approach for the fabrication of surface‐confined gold nanostructures for electronic and plasmonic applications is described. Clusters of gold atoms (seeds) are deposited during nanostructure patterning by electric‐field‐induced scanning probe lithography (seeimage); these seeds are subsequently developed in situ. This simple approach can be extended to other metals, and is promising for massively parallel implementation through anodization stamping.
