Thin oxide films with long‐range‐ordered microstructures have been fabricated by a wrinkling process, initiated by photopolymerization from an oxide precursor–photomonomer system through sol‐gel coating procedure followed by UV illumination. The cover image shows a TiO 2 thin film with a long‐range‐ordered microstructure fabricated on a prepatterned substrate, as shown by Masahide Takahashi, Plinio Innocenzi, and co‐workers on p. 4343.
