Integrated electron–photon coupling in metal nanostructures is designed by L. Jiang, S. Li, X. Chen, and co‐workers based on a combination of large‐scale, top‐down fabricated microelectrodes and versatile bottom‐up synthesized nanoparticles. On page 5395, they show how a single five‐fold stellate polyhedral gold nanoparticle possesses switch amplification of the light coupling via plasmon resonance controlled by negative and positive electric potential. This opens up unique opportunities to design and construct highly responsive electro‐plasmonic switch devices.
