Nanocomposite patterns and nanotemplates are generated by a single‐step bottom‐up concept that introduces laser‐induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) as a tool for site‐specific reaction control in multicomponent systems. Periodic intensity fluctuations of this photothermal stimulus inflict spatial‐selective reorganizations, dewetting scenarios and phase segregations, thus creating regular patterns of anisotropic physicochemical properties that feature attractive optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties.
