The structures and patterns of electrical connections within 3D self‐assembled aggregates can be templated by the geometry of the space in which the self‐assembly proceeds. This finding demonstrates that, in principle, multiple functions can be derived from the same set of components by controlling a macroscopic variable (see picture).
