Not just a pretty structure : Water‐dispersible hybrid nanotubes were used as a desymmetrization tool to prepare Janus nanoparticles consisting of a hydrophobic sphere with water‐soluble polymer chains grafted on one side (see picture). The Janus micelles undergo self‐assembly to form supermicelles with a flowerlike morphology in which the constituent Janus particles are the “petals”.
