A matter of control : Metallic, self‐assembled nanoliter containers have been prepared that can be remotely guided in any chosen spatial trajectory by a magnetic field, as well as remotely triggered by radio‐frequency electromagnetic fields to release chemical reactants (see picture). The containers were utilized to facilitate, on demand, spatially localized microfabrication in a capillary and non‐invasive chemical delivery to living cells.
