Self‐organization in complex systems is introduced as a versatile concept for the fabrication of functional materials. The bottom‐up process is based on laser‐stimulated pattern formation and reaction control in multicomponent precursor materials. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate the potential of lasers to direct self‐organization into selective channels, thus facilitating the synthesis of functional materials by design.
