Ultrafast pump–probe optical spectroscopy on polymer solar cells shows that when DNA is used as a nanointerlayer between the electron‐transport (ZnO nanoparticles) and photoactive layers, the DNA imprints a long‐range order on the polymeric photoabsorber, leading to enhanced charge separation, as described by Patrick O'Keeffe and co‐workers in article number 1707126 .
