Abstract

DNA Origami In their Research Article (10.1002/sstr.202500384), Petr Cigler, Vladimíra Petráková, and co-workers present a scalable method to covalently functionalize fluorescent nanodiamonds with DNA, enabling their high-yield, spatially controlled assembly with gold nanoparticles on DNA origami. They probe how interparticle spacing modulates NV center photoluminescence, revealing distance-dependent plasmonic coupling emission enhancement, and lifetime shortening.
