Graphical Abstract

Turning dots into stripes: Rationally designed DNA-tile arrays are used to organize quantum dots into well-aligned two-dimensional nanopatterns (see schematic representation and TEM image; A: streptavidin-coated quantum dots); the power of programmable DNA scaffolding is thereby demonstrated.
