Small gets smaller! The figure shows a balloon analogy of stepwise contraction and adsorption nanolithography (SCAN) and a laser confocal fluorescence micrograph of a two‐component array (red and green fluorescent dyes) generated after the first (above) and fifth (below) cycles of SCAN (scale bars: 500 and 50 μm, respectively). In principle, SCAN should be able to extend the advantages of microfabrication into the nanometer domain.
