In article number 2005819, Muzhou Wang, Ruimeng Zhang, and Zhe Qiang present an in‐film photo‐polymerization method to achieve in situ control of periodicity in block copolymer thin films. One of the promising applications is to tune the structural color of films composed of photonic crystals. The key advantage of this method is the ability to hierarchically pattern through local light exposure in a single step.
