Wood tissues with ordered cellular structure can be mineralized using the simple surfactant‐templated sol‐gel process presented here. Hierarchical porous ceramic materials that are a faithful reproduction of the biological tissue and that also contain organized nanoporous channels are obtained. The Figure shows a mineralized poplar sample after calcination (see also inside front cover).
