Mechanochemistry , especially ball‐milling, is still lacking a systematic and mechanistic understanding. Success is thus also governed by chance. As a result, only a few scientists dare to play in this field and try their fate. Nonetheless, such a trial‐and‐error basis has led quite often to remarkable discoveries, such as the synthesis of interesting nanostructured catalyst materials, unusual phases, or complex composites, often surpassing in convenience the traditional methods typically applied by default. For more information, see the Review by F. Schüth et al. on page 6819.
