Self‐assembly is a powerful bottom‐up strategy for preparing objects with specific ordered‐patterns in a biomimetic way. Subunits that are amenable to the self‐assembly include small molecules, polymers, and even metal nanoparticles, etc. In their Concept article on page 4255 ff., Y. Zhou et al. describe the self‐assembly of amphiphilic ACPs together with their unique features by reviewing their latest results and related studies.
