Palladium‐rich nanostructures with widely different morphologies are obtained by electrochemical processing of a nickel‐palladium metallic glass. Metallic glasses are multicomponent alloys that exist in a wide range of chemical compositions and have a fully amorphous structure. On page 2708 , Sundeep Mukherjee and co‐workers report that starting with a homogeneous and isotropic amorphous surface, the morphology and chemistry can be modified to obtain hierarchical nanostructures with high catalytic activity.
