Fabrication of graphene nanoribbon arrays by substrate‐controlled cutting of graphene during metal‐assisted etching is demonstrated by Hiroki Ago and co‐workers on page 6562. The proposed method allows for large‐area production of highly dense arrays of aligned nanoribbons from a single graphene film. This is expected to facilitate the large‐scale integration of graphene nanoribbons into electronic device applications. The image conceptually illustrates the cutting process of the graphene by the metal nanoparticles.
