The cover picture shows the size‐controlled preparation of silica‐filled copolymer micelle cores and their self‐assembly as a function of block length, coating technique, and substrate. The micelles self‐assemble into two‐dimensional hexagonal arrays. These structures are used as templates to create highly ordered inorganic nanostructures, for example, as etching masks for ion sputtering to produce magnetic antidot arrays.

Frömsdorf and co‐workers beginning on page 880.
