Graphical Abstract

A mosaic pattern: Single virus particle nanoarrays can be made through the positioning and orientation of viral particles on nanotemplate surfaces generated by dip-pen nanolithography. Viral immobilization was characterized with antibody–virus recognition and infrared spectroscopy (an example array of particles is shown in the AFM image).
