Chameleon Metals . Metal passivating oxide layers are complex pseudo‐equilibrium systems with a plethora of undiscovered features. In their Research Article on page 352, M. Thuo et al. exploit the complexity of such a thin oxide layer to engineer surface design and structure, resulting in the formation of compositionally inverted surface features and nanoscale fractal‐like designs.
