Under appropriate conditions, small molecular and polymeric building blocks self‐assemble into various nanoarchitectures including thin films and 1D structures. The frontispiece of the Reviews section (left) illustrates dynamic self‐assembly of nanowires with highly monodisperse dimensions from small amphiphilic porphyrin molecules at a solid substrate. For more information, please read the Review “Thin‐Film‐Based Nanoarchitectures for Soft Matter: Controlled Assemblies into Two‐Dimensional Worlds” by K. Sakakibara,* J. P. Hill, and K. Ariga,* beginning on page 1287 .
