A facile approach for the macroscopic‐scale alignment of Ag nanowires (AgNWs) by the magnetic‐field‐assisted electrospinning technique is reported. The AgNWs assemble within polymer fibers, such that they are all arranged parallel to each other throughout the sample. They can be further aligned into complex hierarchical structures by controlling the arrangement of the polymer fibers.
