Controlled Positioning of Nucleic Acids on Gold Nanoparticles Creates New Possibilities for Bottom-Up Nanotechnology

Metal nanoparticles have radically different electronic, optical and magnetic properties from their larger states, which makes them useful as materials in new, ultra-small devices such as biological sensors. Constructing such devices, however, is difficult because, unlike atoms, nanoparticles lack directional bonds that allow them to be arranged precisely.
