Electrohydrodynamic jetting has the ability to capture and translate different phases of evolution in a living sol into materials with grossly different morphologies such as fibres or remarkably, as shown in this work, monodisperse spherical nanoparticles, depending on the sol properties and exposure time to the spray at the point of jetting as demonstrated using a tailor‐made siloxane sol.
