<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>Shape‐changing particles</bold> </italic> with spatial control over the internal morphology, shape anisotropy, and stimuli‐responsiveness can now be realized in a single colloidal system. C. J. Hawker et al. describe in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 7018 ff.</ext-link> a facile and hierarchical self‐assembly strategy driven by polystyrene‐<italic>b</italic>‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) block copolymers and surfactant blends for dynamically tuning the shape and functionality of polymer‐based nanoparticles.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghmpb4kv5" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
