Chemist's caviar : Stimuli‐responsive fusogenic vesicles from a cardanol‐taurine surfactant are reported. The thermo‐responsive behavior of the unsaturations in the alkyl chains, reminiscent of homeoviscous alterations, lead to a micelle‐to‐vesicle transformation and to the formation of caviar‐like adhesive vesicles (see photograph).
