Close‐packed tubes: The right choice of metal alloy substrate combined with an adapted anodization can result in self‐organized, uniformly aligned nanotubes in two discrete size ranges as is shown in this communication. Using this technique, mixed‐oxide nanotubes with novel shapes (see figure) have been obtained.
