A fruitful synthesis : A facile and robust approach is reported for synthesizing raspberry‐like core/shell biocomposites (see image) by the co‐assembly of bionanoparticles with poly(4‐vinylpyridine). This method allows the formation of hierarchically assembled composite colloids using both spherical and rodlike bionanoparticles as building blocks.
