The self‐assembly of blends of two interacting block copolymers can lead to highly porous membranes with pore diameters as small as 1.5 nm. In their Communication on page 13937 ff., K. V. Peinemann et al. analyze the dramatic reduction in pore size by simulations of the membrane formation process by dissipative particle dynamics.
