The fabrication of three‐dimensional metal structures has been a challenging task because of the need for multiple re‐alignment and lithography steps. On page 6013, this challenge is addressed by Z. J. Zheng and co‐workers, who report for the first time the use of 3D polymer brushes as an easy‐make resist to fabricate large‐area 3D gold structures in ambient conditions.
