Small worlds , much smaller than our own, are explored for their secrets by designed probes. The near‐earth asteroid Ryugu, 900 m in diameter, is much smaller than our earth of diameter 12 742 km but it has recently been accessed by the probe Hayabusa‐2 of the Japanese Space Agency (© JAXA/Akihiro Ikeshita). Detailed studies of its surface and shallow interior are underway. Electrically charged detergent micelles, 7 nm in diameter, are much smaller and their proton landscapes are accessed by fluorescent molecular probes. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Uchiyama, A. P. de Silva, et al. on page 8522.
