When the In 2 O 3 surface is subjected to reducing conditions it responds with the formation of an ordered array of isolated In adatoms. The facile back‐and‐forth between the oxidized and reduced surface should allow tuning surface properties in a judicious and clear‐cut manner. On a more fundamental level, the ordered adatom structure is an entirely novel way of any oxide surface to respond to reducing conditions.
