A large array of laterally ordered soft nanowires from worm‐like micelles on micropatterned surfaces are generated by a simple and effective method. The nanowires can easily be modified and decorated by simple physical (hydrophobic/hydrophilic) interactions, which creates new opportunities for specific chemical and biosensing applications.
