A scalable and precisely controllable in‐fiber fabrication method, described by Lei Wei and co‐workers in article number 1703245 , produces uniformly‐sized, high‐quality, and globally ordered spherical particles in a full spectrum of diameters from micro‐ to nano‐scale. Harnessing a fluid instability phenomenon in fiber drawing achieves spherical particles from a variety of materials with disparate optical, electronic, and thermoelectric properties.
