Specific, designed, nonperiodic arrangements of gold nanocrystals that are 5 and 10 nm in diameter can be prepared with double-stranded DNA serving as a template (see drawing; A′ and B′ denote oligonucleotide sequences complementary to sequences A and B). The methods described should be applicable to nanocrystals composed of various materials.
