Supramolecular self‐assembly is used for the fabrication of nanofibers in a microfluidic channel on a macroscopic scale. In their Communication on page 1553 ff., S. Takeuchi et al. report meter‐long supramolecular strands that are encapsulated in a robust polymer gel matrix. The strands are aligned under laminar flow conditions. Their mechanical strength is sufficiently high to allow their patterning onto a substrate and use as a template for synthesizing conductive polymers.
