The frontispiece shows a scanning tunneling microscopy image of a well‐ordered Au silicide nanowire network self‐organized on a 16×2 superstructure of a Si(110) surface by post‐deposition annealing at 1100 K. This nanomesh consists of two crossed arrays of parallel‐aligned Au silicide nanowires with distinctly different sizes and conductivities. The ability to form a perfectly ordered 2D nanomesh on a Si(110) nanotemplate represents a step towards the nanofabrication of integrated 2D crossbar nanocircuits in a very straightforward, fast, cost‐effective, and high‐throughput process.
