| Abstract: | Uniform nanodonuts: Stable toroidal micelles that have a highly uniform size and shape spontaneously self‐assemble from a selective THF/ethanol solvent mixture (see 3D AFM image). The donut‐shaped micelles can be used as a template to grow gold nanoparticles, which form along the ring surface.  |
