Oxygen inhibition lithography (OIL), an innovative photolithographic technology for the fabrication of multiscale and multipolymeric patterns and devices, is presented by A. Vitale, M. Quaglio, and co‐workers on page 4560. Simultaneous control over pattern shape, dimensions, and composition is achieved exploiting the inhibitory effects of oxygen during UV curing in air. Multifunctional structures can be easily fabricated, precisely and concurrently tuning the surface topography and pattern functionality.
