Abstract
Nematic liquid crystals of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can be used to prepare silica mesostructures or nanoparticles with linear or radial arrays of linear channels (see Figure and also cover). While the mesostructures form slightly compressed inverse replicas of the nematic phase with a 20 nm period, the nanoparticles are unusual radial arrays of mineralized TMV fragments around silica core.
