DNA‐containing micellar nanoparticles with distinctly different and highly uniform morphologies are prepared via condensation of plasmid DNA with a block copolymer of polyethylene glycol and a polycation in solvents of different polarity. Molecular dynamics simulations explain the underlying mechanism.
